Hello Ramco, It seems like you're trying to retrieve analytics data for a YouTube channel using the YouTube Analytics API. However, the code snippet you provided is for fetching analytics data, not metadata like video titles, descriptions, etc. To get video metadata such as video ID, title, description, etc., you would need to use the YouTube Data API instead of the YouTube Analytics API. To retrieve metadata for all videos in a YouTube channel, you'll need to perform two steps: Retrieve Video IDs : First, you need to retrieve the IDs of all the videos in the channel. Retrieve Metadata for Each Video : Then, you can use the retrieved video IDs to fetch metadata for each video. var channelID = "UCgKHSHDGgG-m_nNoaVw"; // Channel ID of the YouTube channel var apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"; // Your YouTube Data API key // Step 1: Retrieve Video IDs var videoIds = new List (); var videoListClient = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search"); var videoListRequest = new RestRequest(Method.GET); videoListRequest.AddParameter("key", apiKey); videoListRequest.AddParameter("part", "id"); videoListRequest.AddParameter("channelId", channelID); videoListRequest.AddParameter("order", "date"); videoListRequest.AddParameter("type", "video"); videoListRequest.AddParameter("maxResults", "50"); // Maximum number of videos per request, adjust as needed do { var videoListResponse = videoListClient.Execute(videoListRequest); dynamic videoListData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(videoListResponse.Content); foreach (var item in videoListData.items) { videoIds.Add(item.id.videoId.ToString()); } // Check if there are more pages of results if (videoListData.nextPageToken != null) { videoListRequest.AddParameter("pageToken", videoListData.nextPageToken); } else { break; // No more pages, exit the loop } } while (true); // Step 2: Retrieve Metadata for Each Video var videoMetadataClient = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos"); var videoMetadataRequest = new RestRequest(Method.GET); videoMetadataRequest.AddParameter("key", apiKey); videoMetadataRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet,statistics"); videoMetadataRequest.AddParameter("id", string.Join(",", videoIds)); var videoMetadataResponse = videoMetadataClient.Execute(videoMetadataRequest); dynamic videoMetadataData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(videoMetadataResponse.Content); // Now, videoMetadataData contains metadata for all videos in the channel

Hello Ramco, you can retry with these modifications: The URL you provided seems incomplete. It should include the protocol (e.g., "https://") and the domain (e.g., "www.googleapis.com"). You're sending duplicate "dimensions" parameters in your request. You need to specify the "ids" parameter to indicate which channel or content you want to get analytics data for. You need to authenticate your request using an API key or OAuth token. using RestSharp; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var client = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/analytics/v1/reports"); var request = new RestRequest("query", Method.GET); // Replace "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID" with the ID of the YouTube channel you want to get analytics for request.AddParameter("ids", "channel==YOUR_CHANNEL_ID"); // Metrics request.AddParameter("metrics", "views"); // Dimensions request.AddParameter("dimensions", "insightTrafficSourceType,insightTrafficSourceDetail"); // Your API key request.AddParameter("key", "YOUR_API_KEY"); var response = client.Execute(request); } } hope this will help.
