Why not use this package (package:googleapis_auth) with Flutter applications?

So how do I use the API Key generated in google console to call the YouTube API in the flutter application?

(1) If you need to use googleapis_auth

If you want to use googleapis_auth, don't. They say use extension_google_sign_in_as_googleapis_auth instead directly in the package documentation.

(2) If you just want to use just your API key and raw HTTP

If you don't want to use a package, since you said you have your own API key, you can simply use the http package instead by plugging in your API KEY variable to requests to Google's endpoint directly.

(3) The easiest way using an abstraction package with your API key

For even easier usage, consider the youtube_api Flutter package. This basically abstracts away any complexities. Here's an example blog post of this youtube_api package being used.

Here is a simple code snippet from it showing just how simple it is to use (credit to the blog post):

YoutubeAPI yt = YoutubeAPI(api_key, maxResults: 6, type: "video");
yt.search("video you want to search for") //search video
yt.getTrends(regionCode:"Your country's apha2 region code" ) //get trending videos
yt.nextPage() //get the results of next page
yt.previousPage() //get the results of previous page
yt.video(["videoId1","videoId2"]) //get the video data based on list given in parameter
yt.channel(["channelid1","channelid2"]) //get channel data based on list provided
