YouTube Analytics
This page contains the setup guide and reference information for the YouTube Analytics source connector.
YouTube does not start to generate a report until you create a reporting job for that report. Airbyte creates a reporting job for your report or uses current reporting job if it's already exists. The report will be available within 48 hours of creating the reporting job and will be for the day that the job was scheduled. For example, if you schedule a job on September 1, 2015, then the report for September 1, 2015, will be ready on September 3, 2015. The report for September 2, 2015, will be posted on September 4, 2015, and so forth. Youtube also generates historical data reports covering the 30-day period prior to when you created the job. Airbyte syncs all available historical data too.
