Youtube Get uploaded video list. FileNotFound Error

Question

I am trying to get list of videos uploaded on my YouTube channel using following

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channelId{MY_CHANNEL_ID}&maxResults=50&key={MY_APP_ID}

I have created App in Google App Console and generate APP ID for the same. But when I trying to access it through my Android application getting java.io.FileNotFoundException error

I have given application identifier and SHA1 also, If I try to access through Web Browser key without any other constrains it works well and returns all the video list but in case of Android it is not working.

@Override
    protected String doInBackground(Void... voids) {

        HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;

        String urlString = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channelId=UCrF362wkcVnjqqPRsSEzvgg&maxResults=50&key=AIzaSyAiAFjZb1eVdRxVWnymrhuAb1iDlmYupu8";
        //urlString = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&playlistId=PLTqSMwQKOhUhl7gm7h6YwX6XPYr0ViBtu&key=AIzaSyAiAFjZb1eVdRxVWnymrhuAb1iDlmYupu8";

        String jsonString = new String();

        URL url = null;
        try {
            url = new URL(urlString);

        urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

        urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
        urlConnection.setReadTimeout(10000 /* milliseconds */);
        urlConnection.setConnectTimeout(15000 /* milliseconds */);

        urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);

        urlConnection.connect();

        BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));

        char[] buffer = new char[1024];

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        String line;
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
            sb.append(line+"\n");
        }
        br.close();

        jsonString = sb.toString();

        System.out.println("JSON: " + jsonString);

        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ProtocolException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return jsonString;
    }

Answer 1

Without looking at your API Console settings, I cannot say for sure. But from looking at the HTTP response, it looks like your IP address might be blocked by the Google authorization server. Hence, it is sending you back an unauthorized request HTTP status code 403.

Go to your API Console and select the None radio button from under the Key restrictions section. Then try again. It should work.
