What the TubeAnalytics API provides
The TubeAnalytics public API exposes channel metrics, video performance data, and competitor benchmarks over a standard REST interface authenticated with API keys. Developers use it to pull YouTube analytics data into custom dashboards, BI tools, Google Sheets automations, or internal reporting pipelines — without building a direct YouTube API integration.
The API mirrors the same data available in the TubeAnalytics dashboard — RPM, CPM, views, watch time, subscriber changes, traffic sources, and audience demographics — in a machine-readable format with consistent pagination and predictable response schemas. All endpoints return JSON and support range parameters for historical queries.
Authentication and rate limits
API keys are issued at the organization level and passed via the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Keys can be created, rotated, and revoked from the developer settings panel without affecting connected YouTube channel credentials or other users in the workspace.
If you are on Pro or Enterprise, you can jump straight to Dashboard > Settings > API Keys to create and manage keys. The API keys tab is hidden for Starter accounts, and the UI will show an upgrade prompt instead.
API access currently ships with the Enterprise plan. Monthly API call allowances scale with the plan contract, and the public pricing surface now shows those usage limits alongside the subscription tiers. The API returns standard 429 responses with Retry-After headers when a limit is reached.
- REST API with JSON responses and consistent error codes
- Bearer token authentication via API key
- Endpoints for channel metrics, video stats, traffic sources, and demographics
- Historical range queries with configurable date windows
- Bulk channel endpoints on Enterprise tier
- Machine-readable discovery via /openapi.json and /mcp.json
Common API integration use cases
Agencies frequently use the API to feed channel performance data into client-facing Looker Studio or Tableau dashboards. By pulling data nightly or on-demand through the API, they maintain a single source of truth without manually exporting reports for each client account.
Product teams embed the API in internal tools that surface YouTube performance alongside other business metrics — pairing channel RPM trends with ad spend data or linking video release schedules with audience growth curves. The consistent API schema makes these joins straightforward regardless of the underlying BI platform.
Machine-readable discovery
The public discovery files live at /openapi.json, /mcp.json, /ai-pricing.json, /agents.txt, and /ai.txt. Those endpoints make the API surface easier to index for agents, validate against tooling, and reuse in documentation generators without scraping the human-facing pages.
- OpenAPI for endpoint contracts and request/response shapes
- MCP for agent discovery and product metadata
- AI pricing for subscription tiers and checkout entry points
- agents.txt for the discovery index
- ai.txt for crawler and retrieval guidance
