Assuming you are working with channel.list I think you should check your code I just tested this with your same request and it works fine from here. tryme

Request:

curl \
  'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id=UCQ_jR_iUmDsR50GX33qWvog&key=[YOUR_API_KEY]' \ 
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --compressed

Response

anwsers from comment questions

How your project is able to access my youtube channel?

You are using an API key that grants access to public data. Which is what i am doing as well. Stats on your channel is public data.

Like you testing it on browser it is working but I copy the same python code to my local machine and try to run it is promoting for key.

You didn't post your code i cant help you with that. What you have shown shows a hard coded public key= paramater.

how to bypass or get rid of prompt?

I am using a public api key there is no prompt as its requesting public data.
