 * Here’s what I did (but I’m still having issues getting this plugin to work right
   now even with the API key put into my shortcut code).
 * Go to: [https://console.developers.google.com](https://console.developers.google.com)
 * Under “Select a project” click on “Create a project” then give it a name and 
   select it under the drop down.
 * On the left menu, click on APIs & auth -> Credentials -> Create new Key (under
   Public API access) -> Browser key -> Leave the referrers part blank, then click
   Create. You should now have an API key.
 * Hope this helps and works for you. I wish I could get it working properly.

 * My API started working for me after I followed instructions above for:
    [https://console.developers.google.com](https://console.developers.google.com)
 * And then in google console went to APIs >> YouTubeDataAPI >>> And then enabled/
   turned it on.
