YouTube may disable your inactive project's access to the YouTube Data API Service

Question

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 https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtube.googleapis.com/overview?project=264969722993 then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry."

Answer 1

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.
