Okay

- Create a project in the [Google Developers Console](https://console.developers.google.com/) and [obtain authorization credentials](https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application) so your application can submit API requests.
- After creating your project, make sure the YouTube Data API is one of the services that your application is registered to use:
- Go to the [API Console](https://console.developers.google.com/) and select the project that you just registered.
- Visit the [Enabled APIs page](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/enabled). In the list of APIs, make sure the status is ON for the YouTube Data API v3
- If your application will use any API methods that require user authorization, read the [authentication](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/authentication) guide to learn how to implement OAuth 2.0 authorization.
- Select a [client library](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/libraries) to simplify your API implementation.
- Familiarize yourself with the core concepts of the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data format. JSON is a common, language-independent data format that provides a simple text representation of arbitrary data structures. For more information, see [json.org](http://json.org/).

I think the last three steps are not related to the youtube api enabling process and can be removed. We just need steps for enabling youtube api in google dev console.
