API quota error but LYTE seems to work

  • Hello, I get a quota exceeded error from Youtube when I validate the API Key, but the plug still seems to load the cached image. Not sure if everything is working though. How can I resolve the error and make sure everything is working?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Frank, tried that, but still getting this when testing the key: “API key not OK, your key seems to be correct, but seems to have exceeded the number of requests that can be made with it.”

    I should add, that it does seem like the plugin is still working, loading images instead of the embedded player.

    that’s normal; LYTE caches the responses from YT, so videos for which a response was already cached will continue working ??

    Yes but it seems to be working even with new videos

    all the better ??

    I’m afraid the YT API validation is a black box to me as well, so I have no idea why you woudl be getting a quota error while things still work ..

    /* edit */
    Logged into Google and recopied and pasted the same key and now the test is saying quota exceeded again, so i guess no real progress. Is there a way to show what the details of the API error is, i.e., like those shown on this page so that I can tell exactly what the issue is as far as Google is concerned?

    Generated new API code but now getting “badrequest”

    I have the same error message and everything still seems to work for me, too. Have you been able to find out more about it?

    Afraid not; YouTube’s API counting is a black box for me, but LYTE up until yesterday’s release only makes one request to YouTube per video added and then caches the resulting data, so it’s _very_ surprising one would exceed the quote with this.

    Because of the caching, many people got mails saying the API wasn’t used and that there needs to be activity in a 90 days window, which is why in the latest release I changed LYTE to cache YouTube API responses for only 2 months after which they are refreshed.

    Anyway; You can go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/ and check usage there, that should give you an idea of how many requests are being generated?
