[YouTube-API] Re: Getting Insight/Analytic CSV Zip with OAuth/OAuth2 API

Hello,

I don't understand what part of the process is causing you trouble.
It sounds like you're able to successfully retrieve a URL for the
archive file using the API (something along the lines of
http://insight.youtube.com/video-analytics/...). Are you saying that
when attempting to access that URL (without modifying the URL) you get
back... what, exactly? Please note that the URL points to a .zip
archive that needs to be uncompressed, and inside the uncompressed
folder are the various CSV files for you to process.

Cheers,
