We got the request from google to submit YouTube API Audit form and we have submitted with all information but it seems our Console project with YouTube Data API still not activated properly because of status display "Active" but the daily quota is blank.
When I am going to update daily quota with any number but it seems set with blank on page refresh and we are not able to make any single request successful.
We are working with this console project and YouTube API for the last 5 years without any issue but in the last few months we are getting so many issues like first, we have verified OAuth screen with requested scopes and it has taken 20-25 days in the verification process and published. Now, facing another issue about limit quota and audit form.
Right now we are getting below error as attached in screenshot while going to authenticate my google account with the permission of Manage YouTube data API.
There is no contact support provided and I have submitted form 3 times but no back reply from support so waiting since 1 month to get work as normal.
Let me know if anyone has idea!
Error:
Error calling GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=contentDetails&mine=true:
(403) Access Not Configured. YouTube Data API has not been used in project xxxxxxx before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting

If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.
Access Not Configured. Quota limit issue
This means that you do not have any quota to use the API. You need to apply for an additional quota within the Google developer console. It took me about three months to get a quota on my project.
This is not the same as going through the verification process all though it is similar. Unfortunately, you must have missed an email you were probably notified a while ago that Google was locking down the quotas and you should apply before losing the quota on your existing project.
There is no support other than going though the form and simply waiting until google choices to grant you some quota or they tell you they wont. This is the price of developing with a free api google gets chose how they want to allow us to access things.

I'm currently trying to use Google My Business API to get reviews for each location of my company. The problem is that i want to use the reviews methods but I can't use them without my account_id. To have it i know i can do the following request:
https://mybusinessaccountmanagement.googleapis.com/v1/accounts
The problem is that when I try to execute it, I have a 429 error saying that the quota of requests for the mybusinessaccountmanagement is exceeded. When I go to the My Business Account Manager page on my Google Cloud Platform Console, i can see that the Quota for this API is setted at 0 and I can't modify it because they ask for my account to have a facturation account.
Do you have any idea of how can I get my account_id to make my request with the Google My Business API?
Thank you
The Google My Business API is restricted by default because of its ability to access sensitive information and so requires approval before you are allowed to use it.
https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/prereqs#request-access
The prerequisites page calls this out and provides a link to the form to submit your application to gain access. Until you are approved through that process, your API quota will stay at 0.
We have a mobile app and our users got a
"sign in with google temporarily disabled for this app"
When they tried to login their YouTube account with iOS (There's no problem with Android devices).
We submitted a verification request long time ago, and we got from YouTube an email (May 26th 2020),(May 26th 2020):
"Hi Adam,
Thanks for working with us on the YouTube API Services compliance review. We have completed your review and do not require any further actions from you at this time.
We may reach out again to re-review your API Client for compliance with YouTube API Services Terms and Policies.
We appreciate your time working with us on this and please continue to comply with the YouTube API Services Terms and Policies."
Since then, nothing had changed and our app hasn't been verified yet, and our users can't connect with their youtube accounts.
What can we do? We are just waiting and we don't even know how to contact YouTube and ask about our specific case/project.
Thanks you,
Adam.
sign in with google temporarily disabled for this app
Means that your application has not been verified by google. You need to go through the verification process.
You can use a project for development without verification. However there are some limitations (more information here). Basically, you have now reached the limit of 100 users accessing the application.
If you still havent heard anything from google after they say they have verified your application I think the only thing you can do is to submit it again and double check that you are using a client that was created under the project that you requested verification for there's really nothing else you can do.
For years we have used the YouTube search API to provide a simple YouTube fallback for smart-tvs with no native YouTube app available. The Queries Per Day for our registered app has been set to "unlimited" trough all this time AFAIK, and we only use the youtube.search-list API.
Suddenly, three weeks back, access to the search function was no longer working. Turns out the quota for daily queries was set to blank(no number, no nothing). When trying to change it we get "enter a number in the range 0 to ."
First of all we linked the app to a billing account to be able to adjust the quota. But it was still not working. Then we contacted YouTube and filled out a big form to increase the quota. We got reply from YouTube that the quota request was granted. But we are still not able to set/change the quota. I've tried replying to to quota mail, but I guess the mail is not monitored.
We see others have had similar issues, and the solution seems to have been to contact YouTube. But we have not found any way to contact them regarding YouTube data API support queries except here on stackoverflow(we do not have a paid support plan). So we're posting here hoping that anyone from YouTube can respond - or to get tips from users that have been in the same situation.
UPDATE:
We have now tried two things:
* Removing and adding back in YouTube data API v3 in the registered app. Did not help
* Activating YouTube data API v3 on another app we have registered - this gave us a daily quota of 10000(but we would definatly prefer not to have to change to another API key)
UPDATE 2:
Info we left out that might be relevant. We recently went trough a process with Google filling out the "YouTube API Services Form"(a google docs form). We went back and forth with the google team, replacing logos, adding ToS links, changing UI etc. until we got a:
"Thanks for your response to the Audit Form. We will conduct our audit based on the information you provided. We will notify you if additional information is needed or when we completed our review. Thank you for your cooperation."
After this we have heard nothing.
Today we can see that the quota is back to 10000... We did send a second request for quota raise and I also sent a mail to the Audit Form team. Not sure which one did the trick - have received no response. And that's probably the most annoying thing about this - the complete lack of feedback.
I experienced the same issue before in one of my projects and I can tell that your access to Youtube data api has been disabled.
TLDR;
I noticed this first because I got the error below when calling Youtube data API.
{ "error": { "errors": [ { "domain": "usageLimits", "reason": "accessNotConfigured", "message": "Access Not Configured. YouTube Data API has not been used in project <my_project_id> before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtube.googleapis.com/overview?project=<my_project_id> then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.", "extendedHelp": "https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtube.googleapis.com/overview?project=<my_project_id>" } ]
So I went to the console and checked if the API is enabled (And it was). Then I checked the quota, which I suspect is the issue because I got a blank value in the queries per day. I could still edit the value, but those values didn't take effect. It eventually transitioned to 0 and after that, I can no longer edit it (This is after some editing and refresh).
When I looked at my email, it shows that they sent me an email with the following subject and content.
Subject: [FYI] YouTube disabled your inactive project’s access to YouTube Data API Service
Dear YouTube API Developer,
According to our records, your project has been inactive for the past 90 consecutive days. In accordance with the YouTube API Services Developer Policies (link), we disabled your project’s access to and use of the YouTube Data API Service.
This will not affect other Google API Services that you may have enabled on this project.
For reference, your inactive project number is my_project_number
If you desire to access and use YouTube Data API Service, or believe you were disabled in error, you may complete and submit this form to get in touch with us.
Thanks,
YouTube API Services team
The form was included in the email, but since you haven't received one, here's what you need to do as stated here.
If the API is indeed enabled, then this means that your project’s access to YouTube Data API Service has been disabled.
You should’ve received a notice via email regarding this action, which also contains the steps that need to be taken to regain the project’s access. But just in case you missed it, please fill out and submit the exceptions form below:
https://support.google.com/youtube/contact/yt_api_form?hl=en
The alternative, outright solution is to create a new project where you will get the default 10,000 quota.
I was using Youtube Data APIto get youtube video but after getting mail from youtube which says api is disable due to inactive.
Youtube Data api not working since it was disabled by youtube because of inactive for 90 Days. I am not able to call(It is enable in API Console) it even with delete and add new delete back. Please help.
Error shows when i am calling from Web Browsers with api Key i also tried to generate new API key also delete and regenerate new api key but still no luck.
"Access Not Configured. YouTube Data API has not been used in project
264969722993 before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting

then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for

There are things you can do to try and solve this issue. This first option is to apply for an API exception by filling out this out this form. I've filled out this form and am waiting for a response.
The second option is to create a new project and use that project to generate an API key. Because Google has only disabled access to the Youtube Data API for your current project, the new project's API key should work just fine. I've tried this and can confirm this works. This is probably the more hassle-free option if you have extra projects to spare as Google only allows 10 projects at any point in time.
I'm in the same position, disabled for no calls in 90 days. You can request an exemption but after about 25 back and forth emails it's clear that it is just a smokescreen. After explaining what it's used for they then wanted screenshots, then videos of you using the application, how we use the videos we pull up, and then a shot of the room where it was being used. They even asked who made the video we were looking at (we have no idea!). They want your whole business model and what you do. It was just never ending questions and more stuff to send them. After about 2 1/2 months of slow back and forth, I get a message saying I am out of compliance.
Our application uses YouTube to pull up videos for manufacturers product for research and training in a small training/conference room for internal use only. That's all!
Nothing was out of compliance.
This is the email we received:
Hello ,
We have reviewed your quota extension request for project number
#### and have revoked the allocated quota for your API Client(s) as it is out of compliance on the following YouTube API Services -
Developer Policy:
Policy F. 1 (User Experience - YouTube Look and Feel) Please do not
reply to this email, you may complete and submit this form to re-apply
once the above concern has been addressed.
Thanks, YouTube API Services team
The form link in the email is just a link to start the whole process over again.
According to YouTube policy
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.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/developer-policies
I suggest reapplying.
To add to avatarhzh's answer:
If you have already used up your initial cap of max. 12 projects and your channel is a brand account and you do not want to go through the process of applying for more quota/getting back your previous quota, you can also create new projects on a different google account and then add that account to your channel as a manager. It is then possible to access your channel through this new account via the youtube data API.
If your channel is not a brand account yet, you can move your channel to a brand account. This allows you to add different google accounts as managers/co-owners of the channel. Warning: certain things (e.g. comments) cannot be transferred when moving to a brand account.
I'm trying to get my content-owner-id for upload videos to other channels that I have, as described here.
I'm using the code below to get content-owner-id: (PHP)
$youtubePartner = new Google_Service_YouTubePartner($this->client);
$contentOwnersListResponse = $youtubePartner->contentOwners->listContentOwners(
array('fetchMine' => true));
$contentOwnerId = $contentOwnersListResponse['items'][0]['id'];
And this is the error I got:
A service error occurred: Error calling GET
googleapis.com/youtube/partner/v1/contentOwners?fetchMine=true:
(403) Access Not Configured. Youtube Content ID API has not been used
in project XXXXXXXXXXXXX before or it is disabled. Enable it by
visiting
console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtubePartner/overview?project=XXXXXXXXXX
then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for
the action to propagate to our systems and retry.
I tried to go the the link https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtubePartner/overview?project=XXXXXXXXXX but I get "The API doesn't exist or you don't have permission to access it".
Then I searched on google and find out that I need to become a CMS youtube account (I'm also a youtube partner). I also tried to go to cms.youtube.com and log in with my youtube account but I got:
Your Google Account is not linked with YouTube Content Manager. Please
try a different account or contact your Technical Account Manager for
assistance.
Can anyone explain me how to connect to CMS account?
Based from this thread:
You don't see it in the list auf available APIs, unless your account is connected to a CMS and some time has past... It takes 7-14 days unless the Content ID API is available for your account. This is a information i got from the support, but they told me, that it is an automated step.
Your account needs to be connected with a content owner. Be noted that a content owner and a partnered channel are not the same thing.
From this documentation, to request data from a YouTube Content Owner, you need to set the ids parameter value to contentOwner==OWNER_NAME, where OWNER_NAME is the content owner ID.
