YouTube Reporting API - Get Bulk Data Reports

YouTube Reporting API 支持预定义的报告，这些报告包含频道或内容所有者的一系列全面的 YouTube 数据分析数据。您可以通过这些报告下载批量数据集，然后使用 YouTube Analytics API 或在 YouTube 工作室的数据分析部分中查询这些数据集。

该 API 还支持一组由系统自动生成的报告，可供有权在“报告”菜单中访问相应报告的内容所有者使用。这些报告包含广告收入数据和 YouTube Premium 订阅收入数据。如需了解详情，请参阅系统管理的报告文档。

概览

这些报告中的报告字段采用维度或指标形式：

• 维度是用于汇总数据的常用条件，例如操作发生的日期或用户所在的国家/地区。在报告中，每行数据都有唯一的维度值组合。
• 指标是与用户活动、广告效果或预估收入相关的各项衡量结果。用户活动指标包括视频观看次数和评分（赞和踩）等。

例如，频道的基本用户活动报告包含以下维度：

• day：活动发生的日期。
• channel：与活动关联的 YouTube 频道。
• video：与活动相关联的 YouTube 视频。
• liveOrOnDemand：一个值，用于表示观看者是否在观看直播视频流。
• subscribedStatus：一个值，表示观看者是否订阅了频道。
• country：观看者所在的国家/地区。

该报告还包含许多指标，例如观看次数、赞的次数和平均观看时长。检索并导入报告后，应用可以根据常用的维度值进行许多不同的计算。

例如，要计算特定日期在德国的总观看次数，请将以下行的 views 指标值相加：country 列的值为 DE，day 列的值是 YYYY-MM-DD 格式的日期。

检索 YouTube 数据分析报告

以下步骤介绍了如何通过 API 检索频道和内容所有者报告。如需了解如何检索这些报告，请参阅系统管理的报告文档。

第 1 步：检索授权凭据

所有 YouTube Reporting API 请求都必须获得授权。授权指南介绍了如何使用 OAuth 2.0 协议检索授权令牌。

YouTube Reporting API 请求使用以下授权范围：

第 2 步：确定要检索的报告

调用 API 的 reportTypes.list 方法可检索可为频道或内容所有者生成的报告列表。该方法会返回报告 ID 和名称的列表。捕获要生成的报告的 id 属性值。例如，渠道的“基本用户活动”报告的 ID 为 channel_basic_a1。

您也可以在定义受支持的频道报告和内容所有者报告的文档中找到报告名称。

第 3 步：创建报告作业

在您为某个报告创建报告作业之前，YouTube 不会开始生成报告。（因此，系统只会为实际想要检索内容的频道和内容所有者生成报告。）

如需创建报告作业，请调用 API 的 jobs.create 方法。在请求正文中设置以下值：

• 将 reportTypeId 属性的值设置为您在第 2 步中检索到的报告 ID。
• 将 name 属性的值设置为要与报告关联的名称。

对 jobs.create 方法的 API 响应包含一个 Job 资源，该资源指定唯一标识相应作业的 ID。您可以在创建作业后的 48 小时内开始检索报告，第一个可用的报告就是您安排作业的日期。

例如，如果您在 9 月 1 日安排了作业，那么 9 月 1 日的报告将在 9 月 3 日生成。9 月 2 日的报告将于 9 月 4 日发布，以此类推。

第 4 步：检索作业 ID

注意：如果您的应用存储了第 3 步中返回的作业 ID，则可以跳过此步骤。

调用 jobs.list 方法可检索已安排的作业列表。每个返回的 Job 资源中的 reportTypeId 属性用于标识该作业生成的报告的类型。在以下步骤中，您的应用需要来自同一资源的 id 属性值。

第 5 步：获取报告的下载网址

调用 jobs.reports.list 方法可检索为作业创建的报告列表。在请求中，将 jobId 参数设置为要检索的报告的作业 ID。

提示：使用 createdAfter 参数可指明 API 应仅返回在指定时间之后创建的报告。此参数可用于确保 API 仅返回您尚未处理的报告。

API 响应包含该作业的 Report 资源列表。每个资源都指包含特定 24 小时内数据的报告。请注意，YouTube 会针对没有数据的日子生成可下载的报告。这些报告包含标题行，但不包含其他数据。

• 资源的 startTime 和 endTime 属性用于标识报告数据涵盖的时间段。
• 资源的 downloadUrl 属性用于标识可从中提取报告的网址。
• 资源的 createTime 属性指定报告的生成日期和时间。您的应用应存储此值，并使用它来确定之前下载的报告是否发生了变化。

第 6 步：下载报告

向第 5 步中获取的 downloadUrl 发送 HTTP GET 请求，以检索报告。

您可以通过对下载请求启用 gzip 压缩来减少下载报告所需的带宽。虽然您的应用将需要额外的 CPU 时间来解压缩 API 响应，但消耗更少网络资源的好处通常超过了这一成本。

如需接收 gzip 编码的响应，请将 Accept-Encoding HTTP 请求标头设置为 gzip，如以下示例所示：

Accept-Encoding: gzip

处理报告

最佳做法

使用 YouTube Reporting API 的应用应始终遵循以下做法：

• 要确定报告列的顺序，请使用报告的标题行。例如，不要仅仅因为“观看次数”是报告说明中列出的第一个指标，就假定它会是报告中返回的第一个指标。请改用报告的标题行来确定哪个列包含相应数据。

• 为避免重复处理同一报告，请记录已下载的报告。以下列表提供了几种实现方法。

  • 调用 reports.list 方法时，使用 createdAfter 参数可仅检索在特定日期之后创建的报告。（首次检索报告时，请省略 createdAfter 参数。）

    每次检索并成功处理报告时，请存储与这些报告中最新的报告的创建日期和时间对应的时间戳。然后，在每次连续调用 reports.list 方法时更新 createdAfter 参数值，以确保您每次调用 API 时都仅检索新报告，包括带有回填数据的新报告。

    为安全起见，在检索报告之前，请同时检查以确保该报告的 ID 尚未列在您的数据库中。

  • 存储您已下载和处理的每个报告的 ID。您还可以存储其他信息，例如每个报告的生成日期和时间，或报告的 startTime 和 endTime，这两者共同用于确定报告包含数据的时间段。请注意，每个作业都可能会有多个报告，因为每份报告都包含 24 小时内的数据。

    使用报告 ID 来识别您仍然需要下载和导入的报告。但是，如果两个新报告具有相同的 startTime 和 endTime 属性值，则仅导入具有较新 createTime 值的报告。

• 报告包含与 YouTube 资源相关联的 ID。如需检索这些资源的其他元数据，请使用 YouTube Data API。如 YouTube API 服务开发者政策（III.E.4.b 至 III.E.4.d 部分）中所述，API 客户端必须在 30 天后从该 API 中删除或刷新存储的资源元数据。

报告特征

API 报告是具有以下特征的版本化 .csv（英文逗号分隔值）文件：

• 每份报告包含一个 24 小时的独特时间段的数据，该时间段从太平洋时间凌晨 12:00 到晚上 11:59 结束。因此，在任何给定报告中，天维度值始终相同。

• 报告每天更新一次。

• YouTube 会针对没有数据的日子生成可下载的报告。这些报告将包含标题行，但不包含其他数据。

• API 报告自生成之日起 60 天内可用，但为新报告作业生成的历史数据除外。报告生成超过 60 天后将无法访问。
• 包含历史数据的报告自生成之日起 30 天内可用。包含历史数据的报告在超过 30 天后将无法访问。

• 报告数据未经过滤。因此，频道报告包含频道视频或播放列表的所有数据，但下文中关于已删除资源的说明除外。同样，内容所有者报告包含内容所有者频道的所有数据（视频、播放列表、广告效果等），但存在以下例外情况。

  虽然报告数据不会被滤除，但报告不会提及在报告生成日期前至少 30 天被删除的 YouTube 资源。

• 报告数据未排序。

• 报告会忽略不含指标的行。换句话说，报告中不会包含没有任何指标的行。例如，如果某个视频在特定日期没有在阿尔巴尼亚获得任何观看次数，那么当天的报告中将不会包含阿尔巴尼亚对应的行。

• 报告中不包含用于提供指标摘要数据的行，例如频道所有视频的总观看次数。您可以将这些总值计算为报告中值的总和，但如上所述，此总和可能不包含已删除视频的指标。您还可以使用 YouTube Analytics API 检索总数。YouTube Analytics API 会返回包含已删除资源指标的总值，即使 API 响应中未明确引用这些资源也是如此。

回填数据

回填数据是指用于替换之前投放的数据集的数据集。当有回填数据报告可用时，您的应用应检索新报告并更新存储的数据，以与经过修改的数据集相匹配。例如，您的应用可以删除报告涵盖时间段内的旧数据，然后导入新的数据集。

如果 YouTube 有回填数据，则会生成一个新报告，并为其分配新的报告 ID。在这种情况下，报告的 startTime 和 endTime 属性值将与之前可用且您可能之前下载过的报告的开始时间和结束时间一致。

回填报告不会提及在报告生成日期之前至少 30 天被删除的 YouTube 资源。

历史数据

当您安排新的报告作业时，YouTube 会生成从当天开始的历史报告，并生成涵盖您创建该作业之前的 30 天的报告。因此，在本文档中，历史数据是指报告包含安排报告作业之前一段时间的数据。

历史报告一旦生成，便会立即发布。通常，招聘信息的所有历史数据都会在几天之内发布。如报告特征部分所述，包含历史数据的报告在生成之日后的 30 天内可用。包含非历史数据的报告在 60 天内可用。

数据匿名化

为确保 YouTube 观看者的匿名性，仅当同一行中的指标达到特定阈值时，系统才会返回某些维度的值。

例如，在频道的视频流量来源报告中，每行都包含多个维度，包括 trafficSourceType 和 trafficSourceDetail。每行还包含各种指标，包括观看次数。在用于描述来自 YouTube 搜索的流量的行中，trafficSourceDetail 维度用于标识带来了流量的搜索字词。

在此示例中，适用以下规则：

• 只有当某个查询字词在特定日期为特定视频带来了至少一定数量的观看次数时，流量来源报告才会识别该查询字词 (trafficSourceDetail)。在本例中，“观看次数”是指标，“视频”是汇总维度，而“trafficSourceDetail”是匿名化维度。

• 该报告中会新增一行，用于汇总未达到观看次数阈值的所有 trafficSourceDetail 值的指标。该行会报告与这些搜索字词相关联的总浏览次数，但不会指明这些字词本身。

下表说明了这些规则。第一个表格包含一组假设的原始数据，YouTube 会使用这些数据生成流量来源报告，而第二个表格包含该报告本身。在此示例中，观看次数阈值为 10，这意味着，只有当某个搜索字词在特定日期促使特定视频获得至少 10 次观看时，该报告才会识别该搜索字词。（实际阈值可能会发生变化。）

视频的原始 YouTube 搜索流量数据

假设以下数据描述了某一天某个特定视频的 YouTube 搜索流量。

流量来源报告示例

下表显示了 YouTube 为上一部分中的原始数据生成的流量来源报告的摘录。（实际报告将包含更多维度和指标。）在本例中，只有当搜索字词带来了至少 10 次观看时，报告才会识别该字词。实际阈值可能会发生变化。

在报告的第三行中，trafficSourceDetail 维度值为 NULL。“views”和“estimatedMinutesWatched”指标包含所产生观看次数少于 10 次的三个搜索字词的观看时长和总观看时长。

需要匿名化的维度

下表列出了在关联的指标值未达到特定阈值时会匿名化的维度值。在每种情况下，指标的值都是按另一个维度进行汇总的。例如，如果指标是观看次数，而汇总维度是视频，那么除非视频的观看次数达到一定数量，否则维度值将经过匿名化处理。

代码示例

以下代码示例演示了如何使用该 API 创建报告作业，然后检索该作业的报告。我们为每种语言提供了两个代码示例：

1. 第一个代码示例展示了如何检索可用报告类型的列表，然后创建新的报告作业。

2. 第二个代码示例展示了如何检索特定作业的报告。您可以在作业创建后的 48 小时内开始检索报告。

注意：以下代码示例可能并未列出所有受支持的编程语言。如需查看支持的语言列表，请参阅客户端库文档。
