Youtube Content ID API has not been used - error 403

Question

I'm trying to get my content-owner-id for upload videos to other channels that I have, as described here.

I'm using the code below to get content-owner-id: (PHP)

$youtubePartner = new Google_Service_YouTubePartner($this->client);
$contentOwnersListResponse = $youtubePartner->contentOwners->listContentOwners(
                array('fetchMine' => true));
$contentOwnerId = $contentOwnersListResponse['items'][0]['id'];

And this is the error I got:

A service error occurred: Error calling GET googleapis.com/youtube/partner/v1/contentOwners?fetchMine=true: (403) Access Not Configured. Youtube Content ID API has not been used in project XXXXXXXXXXXXX before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtubePartner/overview?project=XXXXXXXXXX then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.

I tried to go the the link https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtubePartner/overview?project=XXXXXXXXXX but I get "The API doesn't exist or you don't have permission to access it".

Then I searched on google and find out that I need to become a CMS youtube account (I'm also a youtube partner). I also tried to go to cms.youtube.com and log in with my youtube account but I got:

Your Google Account is not linked with YouTube Content Manager. Please try a different account or contact your Technical Account Manager for assistance.

Can anyone explain me how to connect to CMS account?

Based from this thread:

You don't see it in the list auf available APIs, unless your account is connected to a CMS and some time has past... It takes 7-14 days unless the Content ID API is available for your account. This is a information i got from the support, but they told me, that it is an automated step.

Your account needs to be connected with a content owner. Be noted that a content owner and a partnered channel are not the same thing.

From this documentation, to request data from a YouTube Content Owner, you need to set the ids parameter value to contentOwner==OWNER_NAME, where OWNER_NAME is the content owner ID.
