Channels
Query YouTube Channels.
Table Specific Information
Select
By default, SupportEnhancedSQL is set to true, and the following will be passed to YouTube Analytics if present. Other filters will be executed client side. If SupportEnhancedSQL is set to false, only the following filters will be honored.
By default, if no filters are specified, the driver will return all channels owned by the authenticated user.
YouTube Analytics allows only a subset of columns to be used as filter criteria. The channels can be filtered by the Id. Extra optional columns supported are Language and ChannelId.
A search against all channels in YouTube Analytics may be triggered by specifying one or more of SearchTerms, ChannelId, Region, SafeSearch, Rating, or Relevance to search all channels.
All columns support the '=' operator. 'PublishedAt', also supports '>', '>=', '<', and '<='.
Order by is supported for the Rating, Relevance, and Title columns.
SELECT * FROM Channels WHERE Id = 'abc123' SELECT * FROM Channels WHERE ChannelId = 'abc123' AND SearchTerms = 'music|movies-horror' ORDER BY Rating LIMIT 10
Note: Ordering is not supported when specifying one of the colums used for searching channels such as SearchTerms.
