Traceback caused when fetching comments from video because of "items"

[coffeebreak42]

On multiple machines I've been getting this error when using the fetch comment feature from a video url:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 58, in
main()
File "main.py", line 52, in main
vc.get_video_comments()
File "/content/python-youtube-api/youtube/video_comments.py", line 52, in get_video_comments
self.load_comments(url_response)
File "/content/python-youtube-api/youtube/video_comments.py", line 27, in load_comments
for item in mat["items"]:
KeyError: 'items'

Anyone else getting this problem or have figured it out?

I got the same problem, and here is the Youtube API response :

You need to enable your project (credentials) on the Youtube console

I got the same problem, and as @MoezBHH said, we need to enable the "YouTube Data API v3" in the site https://console.developers.google.com/apis:

menu ->> APIs & Services ->> library ->> search for "YouTube Data API v3" ->> enable

wait for a while and retry your code 😉
