I am unable to get any data from the sample request at https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/sample-requests#channel-audience-retention-reports
What am I doing wrong - I am following the sample in the API Explorer https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtubeAnalytics/v1/youtubeAnalytics.reports.query?metrics=audienceWatchRatio%252CrelativeRetentionPerformance&dimensions=elapsedVideoTimeRatio&filters=video%253D%253DMY_VIDEO_ID%253BaudienceType%253D%253DORGANIC&start-date=2014-05-01&end-date=2014-06-30&&ids=channel%253D%253DMY_CHANNEL_ID, requesting on my channel and filtering on a specific video. I do get a succesful response, but it is essentially only the columnHeaders
:
{
"kind": "youtubeAnalytics#resultTable",
"columnHeaders": [
{
"name": "elapsedVideoTimeRatio",
"columnType": "DIMENSION",
"dataType": "FLOAT"
},
{
"name": "audienceWatchRatio",
"columnType": "METRIC",
"dataType": "FLOAT"
},
{
"name": "relativeRetentionPerformance",
"columnType": "METRIC",
"dataType": "FLOAT"
}
]
}
Try this.
It is assumed that you already provided your channelID in the link you've provided since you were able to fetch ColumnHeaders results.
You might have missed this:
Then Authenticate and Execute.
Here's what I got.
