YouTube Analytics API: Content Owner Reports

Content Owner Reports provide YouTube content partners with detailed metrics on channels linked to their content owner accounts, covering user activity, ad performance, and estimated revenue.

These reports are accessible through the reports.query method using OAuth 2.0 authorization, and data must be filtered by dimensions like video, channel, or specific combinations of claimedStatus and uploaderType.

Video Reports offer a variety of data, including basic user activity, geographic breakdowns by country, province, and city, and time-based activity, all supporting a wide range of metrics like views, likes, and estimatedRevenue.

Playlist Reports, while deprecating the isCurated dimension by the end of 2024, offer metrics for both aggregated video activity and in-playlist activity, with the views metric behavior changing based on the presence or absence of isCurated.

Several reports require you to specify exactly one of playlist or group if certain view-related metrics are requested, and there are specific reports with their own requirements, like the Top Playlists report that can be sorted by playlistViews, playlistEstimatedMinutesWatched, or playlistStarts with a maxResults limit of 200.
