I don't think people will use API key with YouTube analytics/reporting API. Regarding YouTube Data API v2, it was deprecated well before RSSHub exists. |

Yes, I updated the URL to https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/youtube.googleapis.com. This makes it easier for users to enable the YouTube Data API v3. 
If the API is not enabled, the route fails as shown below. 
Reason: This error occurs in /lib/routes/youtube/live.ts at line 64 because the data retrieved via utils.getLive (at line 58) returns null when the API is disabled. After enabling the API, it works correctly: |
