Connecting to YouTube Analytics

Provide the following connection properties before adding the authentication properties.

ChannelId: Set to the Id of a YouTube channel. If not specified, data is returned for the authenticated user's channel.
ContentOwnerId: Set if you want to generate content owner reports.

Authenticating to YouTube Analytics

All connections to YouTube Analytics are authenticated using OAuth. The adapter supports using user accounts, service accounts and GCP instance accounts for authentication.

User Accounts

AuthScheme must be set to OAuth in all of the user account flows.

Service Accounts

To authenticate using a service account, you must create a new service account and have a copy of the accounts certificate.

For a JSON file, you will need to set these properties:

AuthScheme: Required. Set this to OAuthJWT.
InitiateOAuth: Required. Set this to GETANDREFRESH.
OAuthJWTCertType: Required. Set this to GOOGLEJSON.
OAuthJWTCert: Required. Set this to the path to the .json file provided by Google.
OAuthJWTSubject: Optional. Only set this value if the service account is part of a GSuite domain and you want to enable delegation. The value of this property should be the email address of the user whose data you want to access.

For a PFX file, you will need to set these properties instead:

AuthScheme: Required. Set this to OAuthJWT.
InitiateOAuth: Required. Set this to GETANDREFRESH.
OAuthJWTCertType: Required. Set this to PFXFILE.
OAuthJWTCert: Required. Set this to the path to the .pfx file provided by Google.
OAuthJWTCertPassword: Optional. Set this to the .pfx file password. In most cases this will need to be provided since Google encrypts PFX certificates.
OAuthJWTCertSubject: Optional. Set this only if you are using a OAuthJWTCertType which stores multiple certificates. Should not be set for PFX certificates generated by Google.
OAuthJWTIssuer: Required. Set this to the email address of the service account. This address will usually include the domain iam.gserviceaccount.com.
OAuthJWTSubject: Optional. Only set this value if the service account is part of a GSuite domain and you want to enable delegation. The value of this property should be the email address of the user whose data you want to access.

If you do not already have a service account, you can create one by following the procedure in Creating a Custom AzureAD App.
