Watching Youtube via Kodi but without the official Youtube app

Is it possible? I can't really be bothered to get the API key...

I use new pipe on my phone, smart tube next on my Nvidia Shield.
- SmartTubeNext is fantastic. Have you checked out ReVanced for mobile? It's better than NewPipe imo.
  
  I've been using vanced and then revanced on my phone for a long time now and it's an amazing app
I do not have a direct answer for the kodi rwquest, but i usw newpipe for YouTube instead of the official APP.
- Same
- Iirc Kodi YouTube requires an API key.to.function correctly.
  
  This is required due to YouTube's restrictions on anonymous API requests.
It is possible. It is also a massive pain in the arse. I got it working but then couldn’t get relevant recommendations or anything. It’s pretty much - know what you want and search for it exactly.

Thankfully my setup is a PC with a keyboard attached so I just Alt+Tab and use a browser.
Anyone have the "Media content not available ..." when using newpipe to stream on Kodi, and a fix for it?
