I am trying to retrieve metrics (view counts, number of shares, likes, dislikes, etc.) for YouTube videos. These videos are not on my channel, and they are not on the same channel. I have read many tutorials, and all of them are teaching how to retrieve reports from a channel.
- So my question is, will I be able to retrieve metrics for others' videos without specifying a channel?
- Is YouTube Analytics API only for analyzing channels?
FYI, I am writing in Python. It would be great if someone can recommend some tutorials.
