Create YouTube API key

YouTube is a popular online video-sharing platform where users can upload, view, and share videos. N1ED provides the functionality to embed YouTube videos on your website and facilitates video searches based on keywords or video URLs using the YouTube Data API.

To enable this feature, you must generate your personal API key. In our comprehensive guide, we provide step-by-step instructions on how to create your free API key.
