Connecting to web source Youtube Data API v3 - YouTube Analytics by MAQ software

Hi All, 

 

I am trying to connect the API key to the dashboard but I am receiving this error:

Data source error: {"error":{"code":"ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_ProcessingError","pbi.error":{"code":"ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_ProcessingError","parameters":{},"details":[{"code":"Message","detail":{"type":1,"value":"The credentials provided for the Web source are invalid. (Source at https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels.)"}}],"exceptionCulprit":1}}} Table: Channel Details.

I don't know if its due to the authentication method and I have seen the other post on this where I have tried making it anonymous with the privacy level setting public but I have no luck.

Hi @Stabbathehut ,

 

You can refer to connecting Twitter API with Power BI.

Hi @Stabbathehut ,

 

I only used the YouTube API once and I know that authentication was a serious pain.  In my case, I got hung up on the YouTube side (I had to be "developer" or something like that in YouTube).  BUT, I think that this article is a good starting point (and the subarticles that it points to):

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!
