Creating the Data Model

There are two approaches to creating the context and entity classes for your application. Using the Code-First Approach approach, you can fine-tune your model by writing the classes manually. Alternatively, you can use Reverse Engineering (Scaffolding) to generate these classes automatically from your YouTube Analytics schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

After EF Core is set up and the YouTube Analytics provider is registered, you can begin querying your data with LINQ:

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

YouTubeAnalyticsContext ents = new YouTubeAnalyticsContext();
var GroupsQuery = from Groups in ents.Groups
                   orderby Groups.ContentDetails_ItemType
                   select Groups;
