Looks like you accidentally put "string" in your command. Try removing it: castsponsorskip.exe --youtube-api-key AIzaSyDeo1OU8sFNZuW9E8SbfY0Cb9gCOAO7TVI

That being said, it is a very bad idea to post API keys publicly. Now that you've already done it, I strongly recommend that you revoke it and generate a new one as soon as possible.

Just want to give a quick +1 to what @Rapti said. These API keys should be private, so I'd also recommend generating a new one, then trying the command again without string.
