What I want to do：
I want to get the estimated revenue per video.
What I tried：
The "estimatedRevenue" can be obtained for each channel.
I don't know how to get it for each video.

I want to get metrics (such as likes, views and subscribers gained) for every video in my youtube channel (or about 10 latest video) , how can I do it correctly?
I'm using such API call from Youtube Analytics API, but it turns out that it returns total views and total likes from all videos, not individually about every video.
`https://youtubeanalytics.googleapis.com/v2/reports?metrics=views,likes,subscribersGained&ids=channel==MINE&startDate=2014-07-03&endDate=2020-06-01&&key=${apiKey}&access_token=${token}`
I read documentation of YouTube Analytics API and I can't find this information there.
If you want the response to be grouped by video your have to specify the dimension parameter to video.
Here is a sample request from the documentation (Basic stats/Top 10 – Most watched videos for a channel):
https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/sample-requests#Channel_Reports
Although the note does not specify it, the sort parameter must be the first metric that you declared.
If want to get information on more that 10 videos or to pull information for the latest videos, you can specify the dimension as video and you must specify the video ids in the filter parameter as video==VIDEO1_id,VIDEO2_id....
The videos in a channel can be retrieved through the YouTube Data API from the search endpoint.
You will get a list of videos with their details as a response, among others the videoId and publishedAt values.
I am trying youtube API to get the number of videos using the call
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id=[id]&key=[key]
However, there is a mismatch in the number of uploaded videos. There are 178 videos uploaded in the channel and the channel statistics API is showing 177.
Why is the difference of 1 count?
UPDATE
After 3 days, I got the correct count from channel statistics API.
Still, the question is "Is there a chance to get the difference?"
If that is the case, I would prefer to use the number of videos uploaded instead of the channel statistics.
Watch time report shows the following data collected from youtube.com, the video watch page, mobile Youtube apps (some data is only available from youtube.com).
Note: Analytics views data is based in Pacific Standard Time, updated once a day, and has a delay of up to 72 hours. The numbers you
see in Analytics reports might be different from the numbers you see
on the video page, channel page, Video Manager, or other sources.
Then I suggest that you use the number of videos uploaded.
I have a question about the YouTube Analytics API.
I would like to know how "averageViewPercentage" is calculated.
Although it is described as "The average percentage of a video watched during a video playback.", I don't what items is.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/metrics#Watch_Time_Metrics
The latest video for this channel shows up when viewed via the Youtube website:
https://www.youtube.com/user/stefbot/videos
(video ID a4pPLwAL_Qo)
However that video does not get returned when the channel is queried via the Youtube API. I retrieve the channel video list by making a call to channels, followed by a call to playlistItems e.g.:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=contentDetails&forUsername=stefbot&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&playlistId=UUC3L8QaxqEGUiBC252GHy3w&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
See playlist response JSON here
It has been more than 24hrs since this video was posted. Can someone explain why the API would not be returning the latest video for this channel?
Based from this support page, it can take a few days for uploaded videos to be reflected in YouTube search results, especially if you recently changed or removed your video. Also, you can use this reference and use Search: list to get the latest videos from user's uploads.
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channelId={CHANNEL_ID}&maxResults=10&order=date&type=video&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Can we get the likes/views along with the time when it is liked/viewed of a particular youtube video using Youtube API
Data API won't give that information. You can only access number and person, not the time piece.
