How can I get a Google API key?
To use this plugin, you’ll need to create a Google Youtube API key. Dealing with Google Developers Console can be a bit confusing, you need to : create a project, make the API data you need active and generate a public API key. Here’s how to do that:
- Login to Google using your Google account.
- Go to the Developers Console > Projects
Click on “Create a project” (you’ll need to give it a title and an ID)
- When your project his created, click on it on the project list
- Go to the section API and authentication > API, and search for YouTube Data API v3, and click on the button on the right to make this API active.
- Go to the Credentials section > Access to the public API anc click on the button “Make a key” > Server key
- On the next box, you’ll need to tell on which domains you allow the use of your app (e.g. 127.0.0.1, www.mydomain.com, etc).
- Now it should have generated a API Key (e.g. AIzaFyD0aPCQjLFRbLnh4RKbVBlBgVCVSwjbFAg), copy-paste it on the box above.
- It’s done, congrats 🙂
I got the message : ‘Your Youtube API access is not defined, go set it on the settings page.’
It’s because you didn’t fill the API key field (in the settings page) with your Google API key.
I got the message : ‘There is an error with your API key, it has been rejected by Google API Service.’
This is mostly because you made a mistake typing / copying your API key. Check the API key field in the Settings page.
