 * Hi there,
 * If I use an API without any restriction it shows me the content without any problem,
   in this case all videos of a channel. Otherwise, if I add restrictions to the
   API so that it can only be used in one domain, the result is different.
 * I add an [image that clarifies it](https://ibb.co/VVMdWm9).
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi,
 * We recommend using the IP address restriction if your goal is to add restrictions.
   You can try adding *.googleapis.com/* to the restrictions for your referrers.
   If that doesn’t work then your best bet is to find the IP addresses.

 * Any update on this? It doesn’t seem feasible to be restricting with HTTP referrer
   = *.googleapis.com/* – essentially anyone could take my API key and use it to
   request from YouTube API….
