YouTube’s metrics cannot be used in Calculated metrics
Due to YouTube’s API Terms of Service, users are not allowed to create and calculate their own derived metrics from YouTube’s API Data. Therefore, using YouTube metrics in Data Calculations is not permitted in Databox. Learn more here.
-
YouTube data for the last 2–3 days is missing in Databox
Due to an API limitation, the YouTube Reporting API can take up to 48 hours to process reports. Therefore, data from YouTube for the most recent 2–3 days may not be synced with Databox yet.
-
Hourly granularity is not supported for YouTube metrics in Databox
Due to API limitations, hourly granularity is not supported for YouTube metrics. This may affect visualization options for Charts in Databox. Learn more about Granularity here.
-
Comparison data for ‘previous period’ is incorrect when using ‘Last X days’ as a Date Range
Due to an API limitation, values for ‘Today’ and ‘Yesterday’ Date Ranges are not available for YouTube metrics. Because of this limitation, when looking at ‘Last X days’ Date Range, Databox excludes today from the selected Date Range and adds one day at the start of the Date Range (e.g. when looking at data for ‘Last 30 days’, you might actually be looking at data for the last 31 days, excluding today). This is also the reason for the difference in the Date Range dates on the Databoard and in the Advanced Settings.

Issue with connecting YouTube channels to Databox
When connecting YouTube Data Source to Databox, only channels owned by the authenticated user will be listed in the connection flow. Learn more about this here. So only the channel owner can connect the channel in Databox.
In case the authenticated user does not own the channel they would like to connect, the channel owner can be invited to connect the Data Source instead. More information about this is available here.
