Use the Key for browser applications instead of the Android key. And don't forget to use https

Question
While trying to grab a simple json feed of a playlist I encountered this error.
I didn't want to include the Youtube library for such a small snippet, so I opted to grab the json manually using:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&key=<API_KEY>&playlistId=<PLAYLIST_ID>
But I kept receiving:
{
"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."
}
}
