YouTube Data API v3 not available #43

Closed guplem closed 3 years ago

guplem commented 3 years ago

I followed the described steps to create the API Key, but I got stuck at the step "open the "Select APIs" dropdown menu and check the "YouTube Data API v3" checkbox."

No such API exist in the dropdown. Maybe they updated it or something, and it got removed, or I did something wrong.

Nevertheless, at the same time, I choose "Don't restrict key (This key can call any API)" and the extension doesn't work with the resulting key. So maybe I did something wrong before...

Never mind, apparently the enabling of the "YouTube Data API v3" didn't work or something. Redoing that step fixed it and the KPI became available.

GREAT EXTENSION!

Glad you were able to get it working. Thanks for reporting this. I've added a note to that step of the instructions to help others that may run into this same issue.
