YouTube Analytics API php Samples

Question

I want to make this YouTube Analytics Request with the PHP Client Libary

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/analytics/v1/reports  
?ids=channel==CHANNELID
         


        

Answer 1

After authorizing and/or refreshing tokens, in PHP:

$analytics = new Google_YouTubeAnalyticsService($client);
// $client is your Google_Client object

// here we set some params
$id = 'channel==CHANNELID'
$start_date = 'YYYY-MM-DD';
$end_date = 'YYYY-MM-DD';
$optparams = array(
    'dimensions' => '7DayTotals',
    'sort' => 'day',
);

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

$api_response = $metrics;

// You can only get one metric at a time, so we loop
foreach ($metrics as $metric)
{
    $api = $analytics->reports->query($id, $start_date, $end_date, $metric, $optparams);
    if (isset($api['rows'])) $api_response[$metric] = $api['rows'][0][0];
}

EDIT: made it so that, to get results, you can echo $api_response['metric you want'].
