API access for product-level integrations

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.

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.

Rate limits vary by plan tier. Enterprise plans receive higher request-per-minute allowances and access to bulk endpoints that return data for multiple channels in a single call. The API returns standard 429 responses with Retry-After headers when a rate limit is reached.

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.
