Continued use requires signup."

below is my code

$OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID = 'myclientid';
        $OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET = 'myclientsecret';


        $client = new Google_Client();
        $client->setClientId($OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID);
        $client->setClientSecret($OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET);


        $client->setScopes('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube');
        $redirect = filter_var('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],
                FILTER_SANITIZE_URL);
        $client->setRedirectUri($redirect);




        // Define an object that will be used to make all API requests.
        $youtube = new Google_Service_YouTube($client);


        $m = $youtube->videos->listVideos('contentDetails', ['chart' => 'mostPopular','mine' => true]);

As the error says: "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup."

You need to sign up and get an Youtube Data API Key.

See this page for information on how to optain a authorization: https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application

Using a valid api token the given request works: Request URI: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=contentDetails&chart=mostPopular&key=my-working-api-key
