Analytics
YouTube channel insights
Channel totals for a date range: views, watch time, average view duration and percentage, subscribers gained and lost, likes, dislikes, comments and shares.
This reads the YouTube Analytics API, which needs its own OAuth permission (yt-analytics.readonly). SmartlyQ only began requesting it on 28 July 2026, so channels connected before that answer 403 CONNECTION_SCOPE_MISSING with reconnect_required: true until the account is reconnected. Requires scope analytics:read.
