Hi,

I have a youtube account that have some videos that are promoted using ads campaigns. I want to query the API to get the total number of paid views a video has received. I am open about using the AdWords API or Ads API as the application is not time critical.
So can I put in a youtube video id in some query and receive the total amount of paid views? How would a query like that look like? 
If that is not possible, is there any other option to get the result?  So can I query the account adwords account and get all video ids and total amount of views (so I can compare it to the video ids I have)?

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out.

You may download the Video Performance Report in the AdWords API as this will get all the metrics and attributes related to all your video ads. You will also be able to get the view count and cost for each ad. Refer to the sample query below.

AWQL: SELECT CampaignId, VideoTitle, VideoId, VideoChannelId, VideoViews, Cost, Clicks FROM VIDEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT

Let me know if you have further concerns.

Regards,

Hi Dannison,

thanks for your reply. First of all: I just posted a duplicate because I thought the first post got lost (so you can just trash that other one). 
Seems like this will do the job, will test it out! 

Thanks!
