    Hi there,

    If I use an API without any restriction it shows me the content without any problem, in this case all videos of a channel. Otherwise, if I add restrictions to the API so that it can only be used in one domain, the result is different.

    I add an image that clarifies it.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    We recommend using the IP address restriction if your goal is to add restrictions. You can try adding *.googleapis.com/* to the restrictions for your referrers. If that doesn’t work then your best bet is to find the IP addresses.

    Any update on this? It doesn’t seem feasible to be restricting with HTTP referrer = *.googleapis.com/* – essentially anyone could take my API key and use it to request from YouTube API….
