# Error type: "Bad Request".

 * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-type-bad-request/)
 * I use following shortcode:
 * [Youtube_Channel_Gallery user=”NsNybXKvJcaOQx9ik9jvMw” key=”youtubegallery-1101″
   maxitems=”16″ thumb_columns_tablets=”4″ title=”1″]
 * What could be wrong?
 * I get following error message:
 * Error type: “Bad Request”. Error message: “Bad Request” Domain: “usageLimits”.
   Reason: “keyInvalid”.
 * Did you added your own Google API key? Look at the help.
 * Check in YouTube if the id NsNybXKvJcaOQx9ik9jvMw belongs to a username. Check
   the FAQ of the plugin or send error messages to support.

   key=”youtubegallery-1101″ maxitems=”9″ thumb_columns_tablets=”4″ title=”1″]

   looks like:
 *  [Youtube_Channel_Gallery identify_by=”UCNsNybXKvJcaOQx9ik9jvMw” user=”NsNybXKvJcaOQx9ik9jvMw”
   key=”AIzaSyAJfz0ZtDXQ2Pnj-di7y3Wb4xSX8a-L2fw” maxitems=”9″ thumb_columns_tablets
