The YouTube Reporting and YouTube Analytics APIs let you retrieve YouTube Analytics data to automate complex reporting tasks, build custom dashboards, and much more.
Go to siteGoogle's YouTube (Analytics API) allows developers to extract insights and valuable analytics data from their YouTube channels. By using the YouTube Analytics API, developers can create comprehensive reports and analysis tools that show how content is performing on YouTube. With this powerful API, developers can create applications that measure audience engagement, understand how videos impact an audience’s behavior, and analyze how audience demographic influences viewership.
Below are just a few examples of the powerful and comprehensive analytics solutions you can build with the YouTube (Analytics API):
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
youtube_analytics_api: {
type: "app",
app: "youtube_analytics_api",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.youtube_analytics_api.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
YouTube (Analytics API) uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your YouTube (Analytics API) account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into YouTube (Analytics API) and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any YouTube (Analytics API) API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
