Getting Error 403: Access Not Configured. Please use Google Developers Console to activate the API for your project

I am trying to use the Youtube API to pull in all the videos from a particular channel. I set up the project in Google Developers Console and got an API browser key. I enabled YouTube Data API v3 and for safe measure, I enabled YouTube Analytics API.

I do not know what I am getting this error. Can anyone help me.

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "usageLimits",
    "reason": "accessNotConfigured",
    "message": "Access Not Configured. Please use Google Developers Console to activate the API for your project."
   }
  ],
  "code": 403,
  "message": "Access Not Configured. Please use Google Developers Console to activate the API for your project."
 }
}

Code i'm using. It doesn't do anything yet, just try to fetch the data.

jQuery.getJSON('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=UncleBens&id=UncleBens&key=AIzaSyDXD80S1mFHH2HSZFxLemkae-_Cl_nY5Xk', function(data){
    console.log(data);
    for(var i=0; i<data.data.items.length; i++) {
       console.log(data.data.items[i].title); // title
       console.log(data.data.items[i].description); // description
    }
});

You must enable a couple of API (in new google console) for things to work as expected.

Go to https://console.developers.google.com and make sure under "APIs" that you have following APIs enabled:

  1. "Contacts API"
  2. "Google+ API"
