## Connecting to your YouTube Reporting Enterprise account
This section enumerates the options in the **Credentials** and **Details** panes in the YouTube Reporting Enterprise Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, **Scheduling** and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most Connector types and are discussed in greater length in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").
### Credentials pane
This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your YouTube account. For information about obtaining these credentials, see "Prerequisites," above.
The following table describes what is needed for each field:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Client ID | Enter your Google Client ID. |
Client Secret | Enter your Google Client Secret. |
Menu | Description | ||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Report | Select the desired YouTube Reporting Enterprise report. Different reports are available depending on the API type you choose.
| ||||||||||||||||
Call on Behalf of Content Owner | Select Yes if you are planning to retrieve a predefined report for another user (whose ID you will enter in the Content Owner ID field). Select No if you are the content owner for the report you plan to pull. Note: You must have content owner access and the Content ID API enabled in the developers console application to do this. | ||||||||||||||||
Content Owner ID | Enter the content owner ID for the user with content you want to pull. If you do not specify a value for the parameter, the API server assumes the request is being made for your own channel. To find your content owner ID, you must be a member of an MCN (Multi-Channel Network). For more information, see [https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2737059?hl=en](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2737059?hl=en) . To find your content owner ID, do the following:
For example, if the page URL was [https://www.youtube.com/dashboard?o=abc123\_qrs\_654](https://www.youtube.com/dashboard?o=abc123_qrs_654) , the content owner ID would be abc123\_qrs\_654 . Note: You must have content owner access and the Content ID API enabled in the developers console application to do this. | ||||||||||||||||
Preserve Column Names | Specify whether you want column names in your DataSet to be preserved when a report is changed. The best practice is to set this to True so cards do not break if the data is changed. | ||||||||||||||||
Retrieve Video and Channel Names | Specify whether you want to retrieve video and channel names when a Video or Channel ID is present in a report. | ||||||||||||||||
Channel IDs | Enter the channel ID you want to retrieve data for. If there are multiple channel IDs, separate them with commas. | ||||||||||||||||
Duration | Select whether you want to pull data for a specific date or a date range. | ||||||||||||||||
Report Date | Select whether the report data is for a specific date or for a relative number of days back from today. | ||||||||||||||||
Select Specific Date | Select the date for the report. | ||||||||||||||||
Days Back | Enter the number of past days that should appear in the report. | ||||||||||||||||
Start Date | Specify whether the first date in your date range is a specific or relative date. You select the last date in your range in End Date . | ||||||||||||||||
End Date | Specify whether the second date in your date range is a specific or relative date. You select the first date in your range in Start Date . | ||||||||||||||||
Select Specific Start Date | Select the first date in your date range. | ||||||||||||||||
Select Specific End Date | Select the second date in your date range. | ||||||||||||||||
Days Back to Start From | Enter the number of the farthest day back that should be represented in the report. Combine with Days Back to End At to create a range of represented days. For example, if you entered 10 for Days Back to Start From and 5 for Days Back to End At , the report would contain data for 10 days ago up until 5 days ago. | ||||||||||||||||
Days Back to End At | Enter the number of the most recent day back that should be represented in the report. Combine with Days Back to Start From to create a range of represented days. For example, if you entered 10 for Days Back to Start From and 5 for Days Back to End At , the report would contain data for 10 days ago up until 5 days ago. |
