PHP - Get YouTube subscriber count with Youtube API v3

How to:

Here's a 'simple' way to get the YouTube subscriber number from Google's Youtube API v3:

  1. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library
  2. Log in with your Google account.
  3. Next to the logo click on 'Project' and 'Create project'. Name it whatever you want and click on 'Create'.
  4. Wait until the project is created, the page will switch to it by itself, it will take a couple of seconds up to a minute. Once it's done it will be selected next to the logo.
  5. Once it's created and selected, click on 'Credentials' from the menu on the left.
  6. Click on 'Create Credentials' and choose 'API Key'. You can restrict it to specific IPs, or types of requests (website, android, ios etc.) if you want, it's safer that way.
