Access Not Configured Android Google API Key

Question

I am trying to use Youtube Data API v3 to search on android, though when I try to search using my API key i always get this message:

{
 \"error\": {
  \"errors\"         


        

Answer 1

A bit mind confusing is that for the YouTube Data API you need to use the browser-key, but for the YouTube Player API (for Android) you need the Android-key.

Using the Android key for the YouTube Data API will not work and result in the error you received.
