I want to get python samples on using an API KEY to interact with Google's Youtube API V3 and get the list of videos of a specific channel, I don't want to use OAuth, I want to use API KEY credentials.
The API explorer shows both credential types but the code samples only use the OAuth method.
I want to have a python script listing a channels published videos.
I finally figured how to do this from the documentation of the python pakcage google-api-client from here.
This is how to build the service:
youtube = googleapiclient.discovery.build(
api_service_name,
api_version,
developerKey='YOUR_API_KEY')
and then the service will use the provided API to authenticate with Google.

I am testing the Google Places API on the Flutter Android app.
When I send a request to the API I get a JSON result with the following error message:
This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key.
To build the request, I went to the Google API console and generated my Android API Key based on my application package.
I'm using Google Maps on the app and trying to make a request to the Places API.
I put both Application restrictions and API restrictions in Google API console using package name and SHA1
Without restrictions Places API work but with restrictions it's not working.
Just sharing because I couldn't find any information on this error, and I wanted the solution to be out there.
I was trying to embed a map on my website using Google Map Embed API, but I kept getting the following error, no matter what I did with my App permissions:
Google Maps Platform rejected your request. You must use an API key to authenticate each request to Google Maps Platform APIs. For additional information, please refer to http://g.co/dev/maps-no-account
My map src url was structured like so:
https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?q=Washington,DC&key=[API Key]
and it seemed to match the guidelines, so I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
I can't find this anywhere in the documentation, but it's this simple - the key params is supposed to be first.
Just turn this:
https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?q=Washington,DC&key=[API Key]
into this:
https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?key=[API KEY]&q=Washington,DC
and now it works.
I'm getting the error on the website Google API, so why happening is api not free or whats wrong even I enable the google javascript. Google Maps JavaScript API error: ExpiredKeyMapError
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#expired-key-map-error
Based on the doc given on the error message, you usually get ExpiredKeyMapError when the API key you are using is not recognized by the system or already expired.
I suggest generating a new API key and using that new API key in your implementation instead. You can check the youtube tutorial - How to generate and restrict API keys for Google Maps Platform
If the error still persists, I suggest that you file a support case to Google Maps Support for further assistance.
Doing some stress / load testing I got this message and figured out that I'm using the free version of the API and not the one available to us in our Google Premium Plan. We do have a clientId and a crypto key, but we are not sure on how to use them in the URL for proper authentication.
Could anyone please provide hints on such?
If you need to apply a client ID and digital signature in web service requests you should follow this documentation:
https://developers.google.com/maps/premium/previous-licenses/webservices/auth
If you need to authenticate Maps JavaScript API the documentations is here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/premium/previous-licenses/clientside/auth
For load testing you can use a mock API instead of the real one. This way you won't consume your map credits.
Please read about load testing of Google Maps APIs here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/premium/prelaunch-checklist#load_testing
Hope it helps!
I just came to know that DocumentsList API is depricated. So i thought of migrating my app to Drive and saw this page. I mostly use urls like https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full/. So is it enough to replace them with new URL's like this https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/ ?
Just wanted to confirm is that all i need to takecare or am I missing anything. My App uses OAuth2 for authorization. Do I need to change anything in there too?
If you are constructing the requests yourself, you have to replace the URLs but also take into account that the responses from the Drive API will be JSON-formatted and not XML-formatted as in the Documents List API.
If instead you are using one of the Google-provided client libraries, you have to start using a newer client library, that you can download from https://developers.google.com/drive/downloads.
The migration guide is mostly a guide that maps methods from the Documents List API into methods of the Drive API and should be used as reference to know what is available and where.
Oauth 2.0 is fine. You can even use the same tokens you already have for Documents List v3.
