I was surprised to find that there isn’t an out-of-the-box YouTube Studio integration. Is there anyone in this community using make.com to automate YouTube analytics? i.e. You post a video to a channel and then periodically check how many views or comments its getting?
Hey Jesse,
you can hit the Youtube Analytics API using a generic HTTP module. I believe you are looking for the reports.query end point.
You can get a list of videos including stats like viewCount, likeCount, commentCount, etc. using the endpoint Videos: list.
Unfortunately there is no module for this yet.
You should be able to integrate the endpoints in Make using the generic HTTP “Make an OAuth 2.0 request” module.
You can also suggest for it to be made in the Idea exchange. Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.
If you need assistance in setting up the HTTP module, please provide additional information about what you have tried in relation to the external service’s Developer API Reference — how you are setting the connection up, a link to the endpoint are you trying to connect to, and what errors you are encountering.
You can also complete this brand new course/tutorial in the Make Academy on how to use external APIs — API calls with HTTP modules
- API and Endpoints
- Header and body
- Multipart/form-data
- OAuth 2.0
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
