Youtube connector API in latest version

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I am a new power bi user and trying to connect Youtube connector with power bi. I have the credentials for the user. I tried looking at some famous videos but what they advised was somehow not available in the latest version of Power BI desktop that I am using. Unfortunately, I can not download an older version which could have the same features. My aim is to get the data refreshed everytime there is a change in Youtube analytics. Could someone please help me to connect my dashboard with data analytics from Youtube.&nbsp;Thanks in advance and apologies if I am wrong somewhere as I am very new to power BI.&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;v-yingjl&nbsp;,&nbsp;Thank you very much for the help. I tried the same link. I went through his 3 videos on youtube and could not manage to do the same settings. Primarily because I could not follow it completely. And also because there are some different settings in the API Google connections. I had a road block after few attempts and then looked at some other videos but unfortunately no luck.&nbsp;Do you know any other link or video which tells us the step and regardless of any version it works with all?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;zagger&nbsp;,I have searched other video links about Youtube Analystics but both of them are based on a version long time ago and l'm not certain whether it is supported in current version of power bi desktop. If you want to try, you may need to find a long time ago version of desktop. Or you can try to contact the connector author as I have posted previously.Other videos link attached:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3vfJ1m2jeIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWp8ZbV6Jfohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-NRovNEE0wBest Regards,Yingjie LiIf this post helps then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Hi&nbsp;v-yingjl&nbsp;,&nbsp;Thank you for helping out. I had already seen the 2nd and 3rd videos which could not solve the issue. I looked at the 1st video which did not help me but gave me a prospect that I can also achieve what I need if I import Youtube analytics data in Power BI. Basically what I need to achieve is, rather than taking reports from Youtube Studio every month I would just like to refresh the PBI so I get the data till date. I do not need to use API connector, it was just that I thought that is the only way to do this.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
