    $ curl 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/subscriptions?key=$KEY'
    {
    "error": {
    "code": 400,
    "message": "API key not valid. Please pass a valid API key.",
    "errors": [

    "metadata": {

    ]
    }

    Why?

    With single 'quotes' variables are not expanded, and '$KEY' is not a
    valid API key. Try double "quotes".
