I am trying to add a simple table of youtube videos from a public playlist to my existing Android app by using the YouTube Data API PlaylistItems: list call.
I have been successful in getting it to work on the iOS version of my app, but it is not working with on the Android version of my app. I do not want to (and shouldn't have to) use OAuth, but only have to use my generated API key. I've tried using an Android API key as well as a Browser API key, but neither of them are working.
I keep getting this error message:
"error": {
"errors": [ {
"domain": "global",
"reason": "required",
"message": "Login Required",
"locationType": "header",
"location": "Authorization" } ],
"code": 401,
"message": "Login Required" }}
This is my URL: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&maxResults=50&playlistId=MY_PLAYLIST_ID&key=MY_API_KEY This URL works for the iOS version,when I type it into the browser, and here as well: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems/list#examples, all of which are not using any type of authentication. I've tried renewing my API key, but that hasn't worked either. Here is my code, in case it helps:
@Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
URL urlConnection = new URL(url_from_above);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) urlConnection
.openConnection();
connection.setReadTimeout(15000);
connection.setConnectTimeout(15000);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
if (responseCode == HttpsURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
String line;
String jsonString = "";
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
while ((line=br.readLine()) != null) {
jsonString+=line;
}
result = jsonString;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
