According to Latency with Youtube Analytics API, data from the YouTube Analytics API should update daily. I'm trying to pull over time data for videos using the https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/analytics/v1/reports endpoint. To do this I'm sending parameters like the ones below:

{ 'dimensions': 'day', 'end-date': '2015-06-02', 'filters': 'video==MY_VIDEO_ID', 'ids': 'channel==MINE', 'metrics': 'views,uniques,averageViewDuration,averageViewPercentage,comments,likes,dislikes,shares,subscribersGained,subscribersLost', 'prettyPrint': 'false', 'start-date': u'2013-03-18' }

I'm setting the start-date to the upload date of the video and the end-date to today, but I'm only getting data up to a couple days ago. For example that request above returns 2015-05-31 as the last date that data exists for. I have tried setting the end-date an additional day in the future in case the range was exclusive. According to Latency with Youtube Analytics API I should be getting data up to 2015-06-01.

Is there an additional delay of an extra day now on the Analytics API? Is something wrong with my query? Is there a canonical page somewhere that has numbers for these delays similar to this Adwords answer?

  • This is not a programming question and is better suited as a direct request to Google for information. – JAL Jun 02 '15 at 15:08

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13018142/latency-with-youtube-analytics-api/13022480#13022480 lives as a question, and YouTube developers also check this tag. Additionally, I am not sure if there is something wrong with my query parameters. From those three things it seems like this can live as a question under the `youtube-api` tag. – Nat Dempkowski Jun 02 '15 at 15:09
  • Additionally [their support page](https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/support) points to the `youtube-analytics-api` tag on SO. – Nat Dempkowski Jun 02 '15 at 15:15
  • I'm also keen to get this question answered - I am experiencing the same thing today where I can only see views on a video back to the 31st Aug right now and it is 2 days after that now on the 2nd Sept. And this does seem to be the best place to ask it. – alexoakley1 Sep 02 '15 at 14:17
