I would like to create a website which will allow users to input a YouTube URL, and will then generate statistics on the video or channel.

I have researched on the YouTube Analytics API, however I am encountering errors after following the https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/v1/sample-application. I am being given a "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup." Error.

What I am after is an easy way to GET HTTP url requests, which will provide me with basic analytics (details which are public, such as likes, views etc.) So I could just execute this GET Request on the YouTube URL which is entered.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sounds like you need to follow the instructions and register your app

from https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/

Register your application with Google so that it can submit API requests.

this page has the details

https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application

Obtaining authorization credentials

Your application must have authorization credentials to be able to use the YouTube Data API. This document describes the different types of authorization credentials that the Google Developers Console supports. It also explains how to find or create authorization credentials for your project.

Create your project and select API services

Go to the Google Developers Console.
Select a project.
In the sidebar on the left, select APIs & auth. In the list of APIs, make sure the status is ON for the YouTube Data API v3.
In the sidebar on the left, select Credentials.
The API supports two types of credentials. Create whichever credentials are appropriate for your project:
OAuth 2.0: Your application must send an OAuth 2.0 token with any request that accesses private user data. Your application sends a

client ID and, possibly, a client secret to obtain a token. You can generate OAuth 2.0 credentials for web applications, service accounts, or installed applications.

Learn more
API keys: A request that does not provide an OAuth 2.0 token must send an API key. The key identifies your project and provides API

access, quota, and reports.

If the key type you need does not already exist, create an API key by selecting Create New Key and then selecting the appropriate key

type. Then enter the additional data required for that key type.

  • I have already viewed that question, and tried the suggested edit. The error goes away, however a blank page is displayed instead – user2675041 Apr 29 '15 at 09:48
