Connector Improvement: YouTube Analytics connector - improvements to ingest competitor videos from data api

Not planned
Nigel Millward User

We are looking to use the fivetran YouTube video connector to ingest competitor video data.

We will not know the competitors contentOwnerId, if we were to call the YouTube Data Api directly we would filter by channel id on the api: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list

We've looked at the fivetran YouTube Analytics connector. We understand that you need to enter the contentOwnerId, and that the contentOwnerId is associated with youtube channel ids. But as we wont know the contentOwnerId for our competitors, we then won't be able to ingest competitor videos using fivetran. 

So our request is for their to be an alternative filter on the YouTube Analytics connector, where you can enter a list of channelIds.

    Hi Nigel,

    Luke from the Product team here. I'm cleaning up older requests. I think we discussed this request directly over email. Our legal team advised against this based on YouTube's developer policies.

    I'm going to mark this request as not planned. Thanks for being an active member of our community.

    Cheers, 
    Luke
