Set up read-only channel performance queries and access existing daily Reporting resources. Verify the enabled channel and a first read.
Available. This connection is live for enabled accounts with 12 read-only Analytics and Reporting operations. The walkthrough below shows the real ApexGeniusAI connection.Use this connection from Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Grok Bot, Muse or another compatible AI agent. Each agent needs its own ApexGenius setup once; start with Claude, ChatGPT or Codex.Explore Analytics tools and limits.
21-second walkthrough with captions. Read the video transcript, or follow the steps below.Before you start
A Google account with access to the YouTube channel you intend to connect. Check the channel in YouTube first, especially if you use a Brand Account.
An ApexGenius account with this module available. If setup is pending or the module is missing, contact support.
YouTube channel access and YouTube Analytics access are separate connections. Reporting is included in YouTube Analytics.
1
Open YouTube Analytics in Connections
Find the YouTube group and open YouTube Analytics. Each module has its own channel and access selection.
Open YouTube Analytics & Reporting from the YouTube group.
The Analytics module has its own Connect button and channel access.
2
Review read-only access
Read performance and existing daily reports. Revenue and writes are not included. Use Connect only when setting up this module.
Start with Read performance and daily reports, then choose Connect.
3
Select your Google account and YouTube channel
On Google’s own page, select the account with access to your intended channel. If Google offers a channel or Brand Account choice, select the intended channel. Review the requested permissions before continuing. Already granted permissions may make these screens look different. Return to ApexGenius when Google finishes.
Review both read permissions on Google, then choose Allow.
4
Enable the connected channel
Confirm the saved channel name. Open Tools, find Allowed resources, and choose Refresh if needed. Enable the intended channel. Enabling it allows ApexGenius to use existing access; it does not grant new YouTube permissions. If the channel is wrong, stop and connect the intended channel.
Check the channel name and turn on its access.
5
Check the connection status
Use Test connection or Check again when offered. Read the returned status and confirm the saved channel. A healthy connection does not yet prove that a tool read will work.
Choose Test connection and check the returned channel and status.
6
Run your first read with an AI agent
Open AI agents and add or select your AI client. Allow this connection with Read only for the first test. Use the question below, then compare the returned channel and data with YouTube Studio. Empty recent analytics can mean data is not available yet.
AI agents · First read
Connection: YouTube Analytics
Access for first test: Read only
Copy the first question below into your connected AI client. Check the returned channel and result.Illustrated setup guidance. Follow the controls shown in your own account. Illustrated guide by ApexGenius, not a screenshot; your screen may differ.
7
Optional: read existing daily reports
List existing report jobs and available reports for your channel. If no jobs or reports exist, say so. Reading a report saves its rows in ApexGenius for later queries. This does not create a job or start a background sync. Check the report dates and any missing data.
YouTube Analytics · Daily Reporting
Choose report type: Use the report types available to your channel
List existing jobs: Read jobs that already exist
Read available reports: Check the returned date range
Read saved rows: Query data already imported into ApexGenius
Targeted Analytics queries do not require a Reporting job.Illustrated setup guidance. Follow the controls shown in your own account. Illustrated guide by ApexGenius, not a screenshot; your screen may differ.
Try a first question with your AI agent
Show views and watch time for my connected YouTube channel over the last 28 complete days. Include the channel and returned date range.
Check connection status, the first tool result, and the channel identity separately. If access is missing, review the connection status and enabled channel. Do not assume a new grant is needed. Disconnect stops this module in ApexGenius; Google Account access removal can affect other Google apps.
Once your Analytics connection is enabled, follow the ChatGPT, Claude or Codex setup instructions. Select the saved Analytics connection and start with Read only. Use the first question above and compare the channel, dates and metrics with YouTube Studio.
Views, watch time, audience and traffic over selected dates
Recent data can be incomplete. Revenue and ad metrics are outside this connector’s scope.
Daily Reporting
Existing report types, jobs, files, status and imported report queries
Job creation and sync start are not exposed. Available files follow YouTube’s reporting schedule.
Imports are capped at 16 MiB and 100,000 rows per report. Local copies expire after 30 days. Starting a sync changes the saved import configuration. Check report dates and sync status before relying on imported data.
