I got an email stating that my project(s) hasn't accessed or used the YouTube Data API Service in the last 60 days and if it's inactive for another 30 days they'll disable access to the API. The project is referenced only by a number, and I have no idea what the "project" is or how to find it based on that number.
In the library, navigate to YouTube Data API v3 under YouTube APIs. Once you've reached the library, you'll see a page divided into sections. Navigate to the section titled YouTube APIs and select YouTube Data API v3. Alternatively, you can search for the YouTube Data API on the search bar.
YouTube API V3. The YouTube Data API (v3) lets you incorporate YouTube functionality into your own application. You can use the API to fetch search results and to retrieve, insert, update, and delete resources like videos or playlists.
I have had the same email. I eventually found the Project by stumbling my way to this part of my Google Account, so you should find the Project in your Google Account using the same link:
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/
In my case the Project relates to the Wordpress Plugin "YouTube Lyte":
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/
I installed this Plugin on a Wordpress self-hosted blog some years ago.
I have no idea why my Google Developer Console identifies me (ie. my Google Account) as the "Owner" of the "YouTube Lyte" api.
I will see if I can get any clarification via the YouTube Lyte Plugin Support Page:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-youtube-lyte
This is not my highest priority at the moment so someone else might get there first - and maybe kindly post an answer here?
