[YouTube-API] Re: NoLinkedYouTubeAccount

Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks for the update - yes I can see there is a difference between CMS and Channel user. Got that now. Thanks.

However I'm really struggling to understand where to get an accurate backup of our data. The overview report is great, but does not cover any of the financials. So no CPM, no Estimate Earnings, as well as a lot of great detail in some of the views and engagement reports. It appears the insight token only gives us access to just the one report. 

Sure we can manually download them, but we managing about 15k videos today, and growing fairly fast. I don't see any way how to get this information cleanly?

Cheers,

Geoffrey
