Steps to Fix YouTube Daily Limit Exceeded Problem
1. Set up a project in Google Cloud Console
- Go to Google Cloud Platform to begin with
- Once you have reached the main page, you need to click on “Project”
- Select “Create Project”
You can choose to name the project the way you want to. You can go funky or professional with the name selection (I named it “GoYouTubeKodi“). In the process, you may get calls trying to approach you for making payments for an upgraded version of their services.
You can ignore them happily as those calls are for those developers who are extensively into this software. Your job is to make YouTube work with Kodi, nothing more, right?
2. Enable YouTube Data API
The second step is to put YouTube Data API to work by enabling it. You must be wondering where to find it.
- Now go to the API Libraries section and
- Click on “YouTube Data API” under the YouTube APIs section
- On the next page, simply click on “enable”
- Now click on “Create Project”
- In doing so, you will have the list of all the projects you had created in the past. Click on the one you want to enable.
3. Create an API Key
In this step, we need to create a key for API.
- Go to the Credentials page where you see the “Create Credentials” option
- Select that and you will have a dropdown menu. From that menu, select the option that says “API Key”
As soon as you click the menu, you will have a pop up of 39 alpha numeric characters. Copy the number and save it somewhere you can find later.
4. Create More Credentials
- Once again from “Create Credentials”, choose another option that is “OAuth Client ID”
Once you click on that, you will reach a page with several options with radio buttons.
- Choose “Others” and proceed. In the box, give a name that you want or can remember easily
- After naming, you need to click on “Create”
Once this is done, you will get two keys; one is the CLIENT ID (45 alpha numeric characters and CLIENT Secret (24 alpha numeric character). Both the numbers will be succeeded by “apps.googleusercontent.com”.
5. Paste API Keys into YouTube
Now that you have got both the new and important keys required, you will need to sign in to your YouTube account which is played on Kodi YouTube plugin.
- As you do so, you will be asked to go to youtube.com/activate and enter an 8 digit code displayed on the screen. You need to repeat it once more
