You need Google API Key to read subscription data from Youtube. Here's a 'simple' way to get the YouTube subscriber number from Google's Youtube API v3:
-
Log in with your Google account.
-
Next to the logo click on 'Project' and 'Create project'. Name it whatever you want and click on 'Create'.
-
Wait until the project is created, the page will switch to it by itself, it will take a couple of seconds up to a minute. Once it's done it will be selected next to the logo.
-
Once it's created and selected, click on 'Credentials' from the menu on the left.
-
Click on 'Create Credentials' and choose 'API Key'. You can restrict it to specific IPs, or types of requests (website, android, ios etc.) if you want, it's safer that way.
-
Copy your API KEY, you will need this in the sketch.
-
Edit file
Subscriber.ino
, replaceAPI_KEY
with you API Key you got in step-7, then replaceCHANNEL_ID
with your channel's ID (it's the code at the end of your channel's URL).
