YouTube Analytics API with Python (May 2022 new Google API Library)

YouTube API tutorials get outdated pretty quickly, in my own experience, because of the amazing speed of update from Google. I decided to create a walkthrough on Youtube Analytics API and YouTube Data API for my future self instead of digital notes, and sharing it with everyone.

00:00 YouTube Data API & YouTube Analytics API (background)
02:46 Pre-requisites (install google api cli)
05:19 YouTube API Keys & Credentials
06:38 YouTube DAT API vs YouTube Analytics API vs YouTube Reporting API
14:49 Writing our Python script w/ google api client & google_auth_oauthlib
26:55 Creating CLI table from YouTube analytics API
31:05 Using YouTube Data API (python script)
47:57 Summary: YouTube Analytics API vs YouTube Data API

To learn more about creating tables in the command line:
watch the full Build With Python series (7 videos) on my channel.

Code examples in the video are freely available on my GitHub repo:

17:44 I think this authentication flow was called OOB and was deprecated in October 2022. I could run this example using ''credentials = flow.run_local_server()'' instead of ''credentials = flow.run_console()''

Hi
Is there a way to get views by many dimensions like (day, adType, video, channel, ageGroup, gender, country, province, city and so on)

This is really a great video and I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a doubt. If I have multiple brand accounts under a single mail ID, how to extract the data for all channels in one go? Can you please make a video on this?

In Video Details data how to fetch all the ' Video ID ' from Response Object at the same time with others details ? ' Video ID ' can act as the Primary key here, when ever vdo will be uploaded I want all the Vdo Ids for all Vdo to automatically be added as an another coloumn with all other columns in Data frame .

Great video. However, It's super annoying having to authorise the application everytime I request the data. Especially as I am trying to automate the process. Is there anyway to work around this?

[juancastagne]

Hi, how can i write the code to ask for the user authorization and save that token to ask the API about that user's Channel info later?

Everything I see online uses Analytics, and nothing on Reporting. I want to see estimated revenue as well as other stats

Is there a way to use the API Key to run the query?
I would like to run this from an AWS Lambda Function so a key would work best

[TheCimonek]

Dude You multiples rows with that: (response['items'])
it is critical with 30k comments.
I handle that, You could also on your github.

Anyway thanks for shape of code

Is there a way to get authorization code into our terminal console directly and not copy paste?

[AlexeySilichenko]

it does not work with channel=some_other_user_id, I got 403 error
