How to make calls to youtube Api with multiple Api keys
Hello,
I’ve had this idea in mind to build an app that notifies you via email of when a youtube channel that you’re subscribed to puts out a new content . I’m still undecided of if the notifications will be daily or when the channel puts out new content. This idea steams from me discovering that YouTube cancelled email notifications 3 months ago .
Also , I’m sure that the YouTube api has a limit of resource to be consumed by one API key . Any ideas of how to automatically enable a new user’s api key to make the call , instead of my api key ?
Thanks in advance.

I Stopped Browsing Reddit Randomly. Here's the Keyword Monitoring System That Actually Gets Me Customers.
For indie hackers: Outsource marketing or do it yourself?
If its not worth it for google to keep the system running, im skeptical this is worth pursuing.
Every YouTube Channel has an RSS feed, you can just plug this into something like IFTTT and you are done.

Thank !I appreciate your input.I'll like for the solution to be well suited for multiple users, So i'll do more research on my end on how the IFTTT will work,, since I haven't worked with it before.
You could write up instructions / make a video for how a user can get an API key and you could store the credentials in your database. This is fairly common (think of a service like Plaid / Mint / whatever storing bank credentials as they're mostly not API-based), or any other app that "does something on behalf" of a user that isn't using some OAuth based system.
There may also be an API that allows you access to (those) APIs on behalf of the user provided by Google, but I'm not familiar with that, so it may or may not exist.
Thanks for the advance. Never thought of it this was as well.
