 * Hi, I seem to be running into an issue with the new way Google sets up their 
   API Keys and credentials. I got the API Key restricted to YouTube Data API v3
   and set to the correct domain and wildcards, but I still get the error: “The 
   referrer [https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet,status&playlistId=UUwyvabSvMdhShkik56mHoLw&maxResults=10&key=AIzaSyADkIWFRgdAWQsIlgNTFg9XmJtwPaUy2sY](https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet,status&playlistId=UUwyvabSvMdhShkik56mHoLw&maxResults=10&key=AIzaSyADkIWFRgdAWQsIlgNTFg9XmJtwPaUy2sY)
   does not match the referrer restrictions configured on your API key. Please use
   the API Console to update your key restrictions.”
 * Accept Request Referrers:
    *.tefpoe.com/* tefpoe.com/*
 * Any idea on what I’m doing wrong here?

 * Hi,
 * Can you show us what happens when you create a key without any restrictions?

 * Sure. I’ve set up a brand new key with 0 restrictions. Looks like it’s working
   now, but I did try this before and after a bit it didn’t allow it with 0 restrictions.
   I’d like to keep this open for 24 hours.

 * Ok. Try adding the restrictions one at a time to see what breaks your access.

 * Immediately after I add the HTTP restrictions is when it breaks.

 * Ok. Our plugin uses “web server” key, not a “HTTP” website key. So, you can’t
   use the “HTTP” type of restriction. You must use the “IP Address” type of restriction
   for server keys, or no restriction at all. It looks like your IP address is 67.205.143.56,
   if that helps.
