I'm using the YouTube API to retrieve a channel's sponsor list. It was working correctly a few days ago, but on 2019-12-13 started returning error 403:
Access forbidden. The request may not be properly authorized.
I can make the user log in and give permissions to the app. The error happens when I try to retrieve the sponsor list from the user's channel.
Excerpt from the code I am using:
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setScopes('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly');
$client->setClientId('CLIENT_ID');
$client->setClientSecret('CLIENT_SECRET');
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$client->setAccessToken([
'access_token' => 'TOKEN',
'refresh_token' => 'REFRESH_TOKEN',
'expires_in' => 'EXPIRES_IN',
]);
$params = [
'filter' => 'all',
'maxResults' => 50
];
$service = new Google_Service_YouTube($client);
$response = $service->sponsors->listSponsors('snippet', $params);
How to fix this error? What do I need to change?
Additional Information:
- I followed the documentation and, as I said, it was working;
- The OAuth consent screen has the status "Published";
- The YouTube Data API v3 are enabled;
- I am using the scope
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly; - I am using a OAuth 2.0 credential;
- I can access other services within the class "Google_Service_YouTube" less related to the sponsors;
- For the purpose of testing, I created 2 other projects and generated the clients and the same error 403 was returned.
Thanks!
[EDIT]
I still couldn't solve the problem...
I did some tests with "OAuth 2.0 Playground" and when I use the default settings I get the sponsor list, but when I put the client ID of my project it gives error 403.
I have no idea why the request starts to return the error. There were no changes to the code or project settings.
