YouTube Data API v3, Web Application, 403 usageLim

Question

I'm having trouble when trying to access the YouTube Data API v3. This is the json response I get whenever I send a valid request:

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "usageLimits",
    "reason": "accessNotConfigured",
    "message": "Access Not Configured"
   }
  ],
  "code": 403,
  "message": "Access Not Configured"
 }
}

Example of one of my valid requests:

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=5&q=funny&key=*my_valid_api_browser_key*

Here is a screenshot of my services setting in the Google APIs Console:

In addition, I have registered the application and it has a Project ID and Client ID. I have also tried swapping the api_key parameter in the example above, one of my valid request URLs, with a valid api server key (and I believe this will only work if the request comes from the IP address associated with the key, which I can do because I can make the API request from the correct server); however, I still get the exact same result.

Is the YouTube Data API v3 public yet? It appears that it was released publicly on December 12, 2012 when this video for the YouTube Data API v3 was released: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlcWiP7OLFI. I guess I could be wrong though.

Any other ideas on why I could be getting this particular response instead of a response that has the expected list of videos matching my query?

Answer 1

if you using google api v3, this is simple way to solve that problem, you only need to enable youtube api via Google Console Dashboard. https://console.developers.google.com

Answer 2

I had the same issue, removing all referers doesn't seems to solve the issue as I think YouTube API saves your IP and previously added referers and block it, I had to create another API key without any referers and it solved the issue.

Answer 3

Jeff, your email recommendation resolved my issue. I removed all lines from the Referers field. Now, in my Google API console, on the API Access screen for this project, under the section titled 'Key for browser apps (with referers)' has a 'Referers' field that reads --> Referers: Any referer allowed.

Now, I get an accurate JSON response from the API.
