How to get YouTube API key

YotuWP will retrieve video items from YouTube into your website automatically.

YotuWP uses the YouTube API v3.0 to retrieve video image, title and description of videos.

In case, you want to test my plugin or checking how functions work without creating your own API, you can use my API key follow:

      I don’t see it being changed, the only thing that wasn’t really clear is that you have to click on the menu icon left top and then click on “API’s and services” but after that, for me, everything was the same.
