YouTube Internal API (InnerTube) has not been used in project

I was playing youtube video on my application using youtubei api. One day videos got very slow. I figured api key [AIzaSyAO_FJ2SlqU8Q4STEHLGCilw_Y9_11qcW8] was overused. I tried to replace it with my own api key but it only responded with 403 Forbidden YouTube Internal API (InnerTube) has not been used in project. How do I setup my own key? What I tried:

  1. Enabled Youtube Data api V3, created credential
  2. Tried go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtubei.googleapis.com/overview it failed to load

URL: https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/player?key=[MY API key]

RESPONSE:

My best guess is that you wanted to use v3 of the api but used v1 witch did not work maybe try using the v3 api like https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v3/player?key=[MY API key]
