Obtaining your YouTube API Key

If you would like your YouTube videos to appear natively in your app, our team will need to connect to your account directly.

To do this, we will ask you for your YouTube API Key.

The YouTube API is an application programming interface that allows you to embed videos, curate playlists, and offer other YouTube functionalities on your website or, in this case, your app.
