YouTube analytics sample java program, after allowing the user consent and verifying my app I'm getting a 404 error response

Question

I tried to execute You-tube analytics in java, using the sample java code available in git hub.The sample code allows me to get user consent page where I have allowed the access and while trying to execute the query using "reports().query(" ").execute() I am getting 404 resource not found response.

When executing the below method I am getting 404 not found exception:

private static ResultTable executeViewsOverTimeQuery(YouTubeAnalytics analytics,
                                                     String id) throws IOException {

    return analytics.reports()
            .query("channel==" + id,     // channel id
                    "2020-01-14",         // Start date.
                    "2020-01-16",         // End date.
                    "views,uniques")      // Metrics.
            .setDimensions("day")
            .setSort("day")
            .execute();
}

When I tried the same in API explorer it gives returns 200 ok response.

Answer 1

Have you tried to set the startDate and endDate, as well as the other parameters, using the proper API instead of passing them to the query() method?

Something like:

private static ResultTable executeViewsOverTimeQuery(YouTubeAnalytics analytics,
                                                 String id) throws IOException {

return analytics.reports()
        .query()
        .setEndDate("2020-01-16")
        .setIds("channel==" + id)
        .setMetrics("views,uniques")
        .setStartDate("2020-01-14")
        .setDimensions("day")
        .setSort("day")
        .execute();
}
