I am working on a program to do some calculations with ad revenue from YouTube. I have set up OAuth 2.0 through the cloud console and have gotten access and refresh tokens that have the following scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics-monetary.readonlyMaking this request returns a valid response
https://youtubeanalytics.googleapis.com/v2/reports?ids=channel==123456789&metrics=views&dimensions=&startDate=1970-01-01&endDate=2050-01-01
{"kind": "youtubeAnalytics#resultTable","columnHeaders": [ {"name": "views","columnType": "METRIC","dataType": "INTEGER" } ],"rows": [ [ 301 ] ]}However, if I add estimatedAdRevenue as a metric using the same authentication, the response is a 403.
{"error": {"code": 403,"message": "Forbidden","errors": [ {"message": "Forbidden","domain": "global","reason": "forbidden" } ] }}Because the query is successfully getting private data (view count), my assumption is that the 403 is because my channel is not monetized, but I can not find that anywhere in the documentation. My end-goal is to get a report of estimated ad revenue per video and I'm pretty sure that getting past this 403 is exactly what I need.
