How to Enable Youtube Data API for Premium Video Box Widget

Today, we will show how to enable Youtube Data API to be used with getting Videos from Youtube Playlist/Channel option that was recently added to Premium Videobox widget.

First, we need to answer why is Youtube Data API is an important update? Simply, because starting from now you don’t need to add each video in a separate widget. Now with just the API Key and Playlist or Channel ID, Premium Video Box widget will pull all the public videos in any Youtube playlist or channel automatically.

We will start by getting Google API Key. If you need further information about getting your API key, please check this article.

So let’s start to enable the Youtube Data API. The good news is that this process is fairly simple.

Requirements:

  • You will need Premium Addons PRO plugin installed and activated on your website.
  • Also, make sure that this addon is enabled so you can find it in the Elementor editor. Check this article to know how to do that.
  • Premium Addons works only with Elementor Page Builder plugin so you will need to have it installed and activated as well.
