YouTube API, got error: 1

Resolved

(@inktv)

Checking your key ...
Something went wrong, WP YouTube Lyte might not have been able to retrieve information from the YouTube API, got error: 1
Checking your key ...
API key not OK, your key seems to be valid, but restricted to an IP-address which is not your server's.Try changing the allowed IP for your API key to include this one: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

What’s the deal with this error all of a sudden?

the first one is if Lyte doesn’t succeed in getting a response from YT, but that seems to be fixed when you get the second error which is a problem with your key configuration in youtube. try removing any ip-restriction on the key or simply create a new one.

yt api key’s can be a pain, we’ve all been there I’m afraid ..

Hi Frank,

All API keys that I have are working for every plugin that requires it. However, with this plugin, I am getting “Client errors (4xx)” in my API Dashboard. I tested my key using this URL :

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id=<vid-id>&key=<my-key>

This is the error I received in the JSON response :

{
“error”: {
“errors”: [
{
“domain”: “usageLimits”,
“reason”: “ipRefererBlocked”,
“message”: “The request did not specify any referer. Please ensure that the client is sending referer or use the API Console to remove the referer restrictions.”,
“extendedHelp”: “https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials?project=462388451704”
}
],
“code”: 403,
“message”: “The request did not specify any referer. Please ensure that the client is sending referer or use the API Console to remove the referer restrictions.”
}
}

Can you please update your plugin to specify the referrer which could be the IP or domain name, please?

Thank you.

Frank,

In addition, I tried a key without a referrer restriction and it worked properly. It would still be great if you could update the plugin to include the referrer.

Thank you for such a great plugin. 🙂

that’s indeed the best approach.

I’ll put in on my list of possible improvements, thanks! 🙂

have a nice weekend,
