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

It's a very late reply but the issue was very hard to detect. I tried a lot of solutions but nothing was working for me. The only solution works in my case is to generate new API_KEY from google API console.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

I've finally solved this. I deleted my project and created a new project in the old Cloud Console. I then activated all the APIs I need to use and then went into API Access and there was a key already there. It should say "Key for browser apps (with referers)" and I just used that key, and it works.
