Answer 1

You can add metrics in the following way rather than calling each metric one by one.

$metrics = 'views,estimatedMinutesWatched,averageViewDuration,comments,favoritesAdded,favoritesRemoved,likes,dislikes,shares,subscribersGained,subscribersLost';

Your result will be in the from as depicted in the documentation. Example:

$optparams = array(
    'dimensions' => '7DayTotals',
    'sort' => 'day',
);

$metrics = 'views,estimatedMinutesWatched,averageViewDuration,comments,favoritesAdded,favoritesRemoved,likes,dislikes,shares,subscribersGained,subscribersLost';

$api_response = $metrics;
$api = $analytics->reports->query($id, $start_date, $end_date, $metric, $optparams);

if (isset($api['rows'])) {
    //Get values in form of multidimensional arrays. 
}
