Creating and Coping a Google API Key¶

Here we'll be looking at how you can get a Google API Key for the bot so that you can use webhooks. BulletBot doesn't need the API to have working YouTube webhooks, but it uses it to resolve a channel or user name to a channel ID.

• Go to the Google API Console: https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector2/home/dashboard
• Create a new project by pressing the "Create Project" button at the top right of your window.
• Give your project a name.
• Click on the "Marketplace" tab in the drop-down menu on the left of your screen.
• Search youtube data api v3 and select the first result.
• Enable the API.
• Navigate to the project credentials page at https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials. (Check that you have still the right project chosen because this link doesn't specify that)
• Select API Key in the Create Credentials drop-down.
• Copy the API, and you are now set.
