I have some visualizations I'm currently using to display YouTube video analytics, however, I'm having to manually pull YouTube video impression data through YouTube Studio to keep it updated. I would like to do this through the API but I don't see video impression data in any of the documentation here
Questions:
Am I missing something? Or is it just not currently possible to pull that metric through
the API?
To get around this if it is not possible, is it okay to scrape YouTube studio for the
metric myself?
To be clear, I specifically want this metric from YouTube Studio:

I am working on a music project and i will like to view the watched history of different music videos on youtube that are not on my channel.
A typical case is this music chart site
I have been exploring youtube but i cant see any endpoint for that.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs
I have also check analytics API but it seems like it only works on videos on your channel
https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/reference/reports/query
Is there any way to do this or an alternative?
Thanks
I would like to extract playlist data from Youtube Music, as well as metadata related to the songs in the said playlist. Is this possible with the Youtube Data V3 API, or YouTube Analytics API?
If so, where can I find documentation about calls and available metadata; I am not finding what I need on the YouTube Data API page. I am currently referencing PlaylistItems and Playlists in the reference Docs, but it seems that is geared to videos. Is that by design because you can toggle between video and audio in YT Music?
If possible is there an official Rust Crate?
Thank you in advance for the help.
Indeed, this feature is missing from YouTube Data API and quite a few other API users expressed the same need as yours.
The official Google staff account says the following:
This type of information is not available in the API. We have already raised a feature request for this but I can't guarantee that this feature will be implemented.
That is it: they may well implement this feature at some point, but, unfortunately, cannot tell when that'll happen.
I am trying to see if the YouTube API supports inserting a video into a current YouTube video. This can manually be accomplished via the YouTube editor. However, I am looking to do this for all videos within a channel via an API call. Is this possible?
Thank you so much.
Does YouTube data API still not support this feature?
I have been trying to find a way for more than a few months already, and there doesn't seem to be a reliable way to retrieve a list of video that can be absolutely played without restrictions on a certain device. An answer from a person who's involved in the team would be VERY appreciated.
Youtube API: Search videos playable on mobile devices might be relevant, but I am skeptical whether this approach can be used to solve "The content owner prohibited this video to be played on this platform" type of restrictions.
Update:
On Nov, 7, 2015, there is still no way to filter the videos that are playable on a mobile device. More specifically, I want to find the videos that are playable on an embedded iFrame (ex. iOS helper library) using the YouTube data api v3. The available params for a search query are listed here.
You can find various search parameter listed in YouTube API v2.0 – API Query Parameters like license, restriction, paid_content that can help filter videos that are restricted for such specific reason. Also, if you can use YouTube API v3.0 there is one more option videoSyndicated that will restrict a search to only videos that can be played outside youtube.com.
I am trying to add some youtube videos from my Admin page to database. So that mobile application can make use of them to play.
I want to filter the result from YouTube API link so that i can make sure that whatever videos i add to the database will be able to play on mobile devices like IOS and Android.
I tried
&format=5 and &format=1
but no use.
I also went through Youtube API v2.0 Docs but unable to find the correct way to assign fields parameter to my query string
can anyone guide me to fix this?
What you need is videoEmbeddable and videoSyndicated.
Here's my answer to original question: retrive only mobile-supported video from YouTube API
