For some reason, I started getting 403 errors on my app(in development), the errors message was
Access Not Configured. YouTube Data API has not been used in project XXXXXXXX....
This is weird because I was using the API for the last month or so with the same project, and didn't do any changes.
After looking in the project settings I noticed that the daily quota was reduced to 0.
The only thing concerning the API that I did was to request a quota increase in order to keep developing(The default quota stalled the dev on the search functionality of my app), but I didn't get any answer concerning that request other than asking for info, no warnings, or anything really.
I'm pretty sure that my app complies with the Terms of service, so I don't think that is the reason.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I would check your email it sounds like your project was disabled. Have you been though the verification process?
YouTube reserves the right to disable or curtail your access to, or use of, specific YouTube API Services if your API Project has been inactive for 90 consecutive days. For example, YouTube could revoke your API Credentials, or reduce (or eliminate) your API Project's quotas for specific YouTube API Services. If your API Client's quota is reduced or eliminated, you may reapply for quota or a quota extension, and YouTube will review that application based on YouTube’s determination of your expected use of the YouTube API Services.
I would check your email. I have several emails about projects i no longer use which have had the quota reduced to 0 over the last few weeks.
How to reset
No matter what the clients you have now are not going to work you need to reset the project.
Delete all client ids you have now.
deactivate then reactivate all APIs you need
Create new client ids keys
If you're trying to use an old project, then it's not gonna work. You'll have to create a new project.
Create a new project.
Enable Youtube API for it. (Your quota will be reset to 10,000/day)
Get new API key for it.
Use the new credentials.

I am currently building a NodeJS backend app that is querying the Google Calendar API. I have setup a new project on Google Cloud API platform and have generated all the required credentials. As stated by the google calendar API page, the allowed queries per day is 1,000,000. Since I am only querying for testing purposes at the moment, I am sure that I haven't even hit a 100. Yet whenever I try to query the API it returns the error:
"The API returned an error: Error: Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup."
Also I have noticed that the dev console has generated a API key for me. Where am I supposed to put that?
My initial thinking is that Google API requires me to perform an additional signup using some CLI tools or something along those lines to signup. If not, where am I supposed to sign up?
Thanks in advance.
Note: I already have all the information from the cloud platform such as client_id, client_secret, project_id.
In "Error: Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded", they key word is Unauthenticated. Your request to the Calendar API is missing an OAuth Access Token. You will need to research Google OAuth.

To anyone who comes across this post in the future. I fixed the issue by using the project generated by Google Calendar API site (https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/nodejs) by clicked the big blue "Enable the google calendar api" and then changing the name of the quickstart project that was generated. I don't know why it works now but it does and it's been working quite stably so far. Lets see how to goes.
With a simple java program, I send GET requests using YouTube Data API specifically videos.list, in order to get the public metadata of a video and store it as .json files.
For my universities research, we have to do this with all available YouTube video IDs provided in the Youtube-8M Database.
Therefore, I would like to know if there is a way to extend the available quota for requests (I already know about the billing option, but I am a student and my university is small).
I have read the YouTube API terms, which states that only one project per client may be used to send such requests with the necessary API Key.
If I understand it correctly, even my simple java code is such a client.
In some other Stack Overflow questions about extending ones daily quota with API Keys, some suggested creating multiple accounts or projects.
Is this a legal option or not? Or is there another possibility to get a higher quota for simple requests used in research like I do right now?
If you go to the Google Developer console where you enabled the YouTube API. the second tab is called quota
Click the pencil next to which ever quota it is that you are blowing out. A new window will pop up with a link called apply for higher quota.
Fill out the form to apply. To my knowledge you do not have to pay for additional YouTube quota but it can take time to get approved. Make sure you comply with everything on the form.
I have never heard of the one project per client term. Technically you can run your application using different API Keys it should work fine. Technically there is nothing wrong with creating additional projects on Google Developer console. You don't need to go as far as creating another Google account.
I have a complete source code of a project using you tube data API v3, when i try to publish my app its continuously rejected due to copyright issue. (i m using someone else channel link),
here is what it says :-
I reviewed your app, and had to reject it because it violates our device and network abuse policy. If you submitted an update, the previous version of your app is still live on Google Play.
Here’s how you can submit your app for another review:
Your app shouldn’t access or use a service or API in a manner that violates its terms of service. For example, make sure your app doesn’t download, monetize, or access YouTube videos in a way that violates the YouTube Terms of Service.
Read through the Device and Network Abuse policy for more details and examples.
now i want to change my code from You tube data API to daily motion API, and i need your help.
Or if someone has any solution how can i get my app approved using someone Else's channel. ?
Is there any way to get the requests quota of Google Calendar API by calling some API method in code?
I know that I can see the total and remaining requests count on the project dashboard. But, I want to fetch it in my application and display it to admin user on a web page for convenience so that he doesn't need to sign in to Google to view the quota.
Thanks
No there is no way to see how much of the Quota you have used on any of the Google APIs. I normally keep a running count of requests for display to the user. But there is no way to check what the over all quota usage is for the application.
I have done send feed back from the Developer console several times asking them to add an API. There are cloud monitoring APIs but nothing for monitoring quota usage.
I was checking the API reports for Contact, Calendar and Tasks. I was surprised to see that the number of requests for Contacts API is 0 for last 28 days. However we synced thousands of contacts with Google everyday. Please refer screenshot attached.
From the stats it seems that the requests we are making to Google is NOT using Contacts API.
Overview of our application's google integration:
Our application is built on Ruby on Rails.
We are using 'google-contacts' gem (https://github.com/varunlalan/google-contacts) for syncing contacts.
We authenticate user using 'omniauth-google-oauth2' gem (https://github.com/zquestz/omniauth-google-oauth2).
OAuth 2 scopes include - "userinfo.email, userinfo.profile, https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/"
Any reason why it is not making use of Contacts API or requests not being showed up in the reports?
Any help or inputs would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
just wanted to add that we're facing the same issue.
We've been using the Contacts API heavily (and we even got a 503 due to, it seems, exceeding the maximum requests/second) and yet the dashboard and the reports show 0% usage... which makes it a bit difficult to plan ahead!
After further investigation we have also seen that the per user quota is fixed at 10/user/second despite any changes to the config from the API console.
Also, the parameter quotaUser which is meant to enable developers to manage their quota more effectively is ignored.
