Explaining how to issue the latest YouTube API key in 2023

I wanted to post the latest information about my YouTube channel on my WordPress site, so I decided to install a YouTube plugin. I needed to issue a YouTube API key, so I'll explain the latest version for 2023.

YoutuWP plugin that allows you to post YouTube information on various sites

I created a website called DronJapan47 using WordPress to share drone footage of Japan with the world. I used a plugin called YotuWP to create it.

We chose this site because it allows us to post information from multiple YouTube channels, allowing us to display the YouTube channels of exclusive pilots from all over the country all on one site.
