[Youtube] subscriber counter/ total view time #6111
Comments
Hello @Gamemap ! 👋🏻 I believe we can get the number of subscribers to a channel using the following API: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels However, after a quick read through the documentation, I see no way of retrieving a total view time. Could you please have a browse through as well to make sure I haven't missed anything? |
Hi, in the Json list I found this:
The tabel says:
Is this we are searching for? Is it possible to add also the total videos count?
Thank you, |
Well, not really, that gives us no clue of the total view time for a given channel. Videos in a channel will have different lengths and most users would not watch them in full anyway, so you can't link the number of users who pressed play to a duration. |
Is this the time, which is displayed on the Youtube Creators site? |
I wouldn't know for sure, I don't think I've ever used that part of YouTube before. |
You find at https://studio.youtube.com the subscribers and the monetization tab shows the viewtime (if you don't have reacht the goal) (I found only this place with viewtime) |
Okay, so coming back to my initial question, you are confirming that there is no way to retrieve the total view time via the API? |
I found this: https://developers.google.com/youtube/reporting/v1/reports/metrics#watch_time_minutes I don't know if it is possible to add this. (I found also video statistics https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos#statistics.viewCount) |
As far as I can tell, that API is deprecated and there doesn't seem to be an obvious equivalent in the v3 one. |
Ok (I am unfortunately not familiar with this) |
The total subscriber badge can still probably be done though, feel free to submit a pull request. We've got an nice tutorial on how to add badges and you can also leverage the implementation I wrote for the existing Youtube badges. 😉 |
Thank you for this tutorial but unfortunately I don't have time to learn this at the moment. If you or someone else have the time to code it would be great but there is no hurry. |
This has now been deployed to production, thanks to @tarun7singh for his contribution! 🍾 |
Thank you very much! |
