Google is now requiring an API key in order to access YouTube Data web services. To obtain a key: 1. Create a new project at https://console.developers.google.com/ 2. Select newly created project, go to APIs & auth / APIs, select the Youtube Data API and enable api. 3. Go to APIs & auth / Credentials and create a new Public API access key ("Browser key"). 4. If you are going to build minitube from ports, set MINITUBE_GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_key in make.conf. If you use package set GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable to your key.
