rytstat package is an R interface for working with the following YouTube APIs:
That is, the rytstat allows you to request any data available in the YouTube Creator Studio for further analysis and visualization using the R language.
The rytstat package for authorization uses the gargle package, the credentials obtained during authorization are stored exclusively on your local PC, you can find out the folder into which the credentials are cached using the ryt_auth_cache_path() function.
For loading data from your YouTube channel rytstat needs next scopes:
For more details see Official YouTube API documentation.
The package does not transfer your credentials or data obtained from your advertising accounts to third parties, however, the responsibility for information leakage remains on the side of the package user. The author does not bear any responsibility for their safety, be careful when transferring cached credentials to third parties.
For more details, I recommend that you read the following articles from the official documentation of the gargle package:
You run gads_auth('me@gmail.com') and start OAuth Dance in the browser:
Upon success, you see this message in the browser:
Authentication complete. Please close this page and return to R.
And you credentials cached locally on your PC in the form of RDS files.
You can use own OAuth app:
app <- httr::oauth_app(appname = "app name", key = "app id", secret = "app secret")
ryt_auth_configure(app = app)
# or from json file
ryt_auth_configure(path = 'D:/ga_auth/app.json')
# run authorization
ryt_auth('me@gmail.com')You can install rytstat from CRAN or GitHub:
или GitHub:
library(rytstat)
library(httr)
# auth app
app <- oauth_app(
appname = 'my app',
key = 'app id',
secret = 'app secret')
ryt_auth_configure(app = app)
