I am trying to get youtube video views by date range and it is working fine with oAuth. But I am using cron script to collect those data through service account, when I try to execute the script it says:

Error calling GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/analytics/v1/reports?ids=channel%3D%3DUC88Bq63MDJi9szYPEGfv7YA&start-date=2014-02-01&end-date=2016-06-29&metrics=views:
(400) Invalid query. Query did not conform to the expectations".

Could you please help me anyone to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.

Using service account is not supported by Youtube Analytics and Reporting API

The service account flow supports server-to-server interactions that do not access user information. However, the YouTube Reporting API and YouTube Analytics API do not support this flow. Since there is no way to link a Service Account to a YouTube account, attempts to authorize requests with this flow will generate an error.

Unfortunately, you need to do OAuth2 to get your report.
