YouTube Analytics in Power BI - Getting Started

Would you like to use Power BI to analyze your KZbin Analytics data? Same here. In this first video, we briefly review the KZbin Reporting API which will be used to collect KZbin data. In subsequent videos, we will download KZbin data, create a dimensional model, and ultimately use Power BI to visualize our KZbin Analytics data.

This will be interesting, i hope this process is still relevant i had a flick through the series and it's in depth. Hoping to follow it and reproduce it from start to finish. Appreciate you taking the time to make such thorough content.

Hi @Flarvain. We recently stopped using the KZbin API, but up until the time that we turned the feed off the process was running daily with no issues. I suspect that this content remains mostly relavent.

Thank you so much that was helpful. Does the OAuth 2.0 Authorization mean that I need to have the username and password for the youtube account in order to get the report?

[@paulbfelix]

Yes. You will need authorized credentials. Video 2 of this series will explain in more detail.

@@paulbfelix what about the public API ? do we need the authorized credentials to use it ?

[@alaaalsaiery3491]

@@paulbfelix Also is it possible that we use the authenticate credentials at the beginning only? in our case, the team who owns the account can't share the credentials with us for risk management purposes however they can share it for us just to use the API at the beginning. would this work ? will I be using the password at any time in the future?

[@paulbfelix]

Alaa Alsaiery yes. You will need to have credentials to get setup, but your ongoing access will not require that you login with a user’s credentials.

@@paulbfelix Is it possible that the account owner could enter the password remotely through an online meeting (of course with the remote desktop control )? Would it work ?
