[SOLVED] youtube-viewer googleapis 403 error

In recent update of youtube-viewer there was notification:

Because of the increasing popularity of youtube-viewer, the
developer's API key is occasionally exceeding its usage limit. Users
who are able are requested to create their own free API keys to reduce
the load. Please refer to /usr/share/doc/youtube-viewer/README.md for instructions.

Today when using youtube-viewer I encounter this errors:

[403 Forbidden] Error occurred on URL: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=[...]&maxResults=20&part=snippet&prettyPrint=false&q=soldier%20of%20fortune&type=video
Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/WWW/YoutubeViewer/Utils.pm line 224, <FIN> line 10.

[!] No video results!

[403 Forbidden] Error occurred on URL: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=[...]&maxResults=20&part=snippet&prettyPrint=false&q=gameplay&type=video

[!] No video results!

I read /usr/share/doc/youtube-viewer/README.md and tried to setup this google api key, but I don't have experience with google cloud services. I don't know which service should I enable and if it's free of charge or not.

Can someone advise me how to do it?

Or maybe it's some other youtube-viewer error?
