I'm attempting something similar.
I'm attempting to retrieve YouTube insights using C#.
I have been able to retrieve video Ids, however, I cannot retrieve the insights. I'm hoping that by using the video ID I can do a Get on the following URL:
Though this URL doesn't seem to work.
I'm using c# and the YouTubeRequestSettings object to set the developer token, username, and password for a channel. With that I get back video objects, but the video objects don't have the insights information in them. Any help would be appreciated.

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,
