Hey everyone,
I’m having trouble with the Zend library for YouTube. I tried running the YoutubeVideoApp sample, but when I attempt to get my videos, I keep getting this error:
ERROR Expected response code 200, got 403
Service Forbidden
I’ve already:
- Set up a developer key and added it to the app
- Added a new domain (localhost) in my Google account
The domain can’t be verified since it’s on localhost. Could this be the problem? I don’t have access to a real server right now.
Also, I saw the auth popup the first time I ran the app, but now it’s gone. How can I make it show up again?
Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong or missing? Thanks for your help!
hey spinninggalaxy, i’ve run into similar issues. the 403 error usually means ur not authorized properly. try clearing ur browser cache and cookies, then rerun the app. that should bring back the auth popup. if not, double-check ur developer key. localhost can be tricky - might need to use a dummy domain for testing. good luck!
I encountered a similar issue when working with the YouTube API. The 403 error typically indicates an authorization problem. Have you checked if your API quota has been exceeded? This can happen unexpectedly, especially during testing. Another potential cause could be incorrect scopes in your OAuth 2.0 credentials. Ensure you’ve specified the correct scopes for the operations you’re attempting. If the issue persists, consider regenerating your API key or creating a new project in the Google Developers Console. This approach has resolved similar problems for me in the past.
