YouTube Analytics for agencies and in-house teams
Content and brand teams use YouTube Analytics in Datapipe to see views, watch time, and subscribers for the channel.
What connects
The same Google sign-in, with YouTube Analytics (yt-analytics.readonly) and YouTube Data (youtube.readonly) so video titles can be read. youtube.readonly is a sensitive scope.
What you can report on
- Day (dimension). The day dimension on the Analytics report.
- Video (dimension). The video id, replaced with the title from videos.list when that call succeeds.
- Views (metric). views from YouTube Analytics reports.query.
- Minutes watched (metric). estimatedMinutesWatched, rounded to a whole number.
What you set up
- Sign in with Google and allow YouTube Analytics and YouTube read access.
- Pick the channel. If none is stored, the call uses channel==MINE.
- Create the views report. It asks for the top 50 videos in the date window.
Limitations
Subscribers, likes, and revenue are not requested. The report is views and estimated minutes watched by day and video, sorted by views, maxResults 50. A public app past 100 test users needs Google's verification.
