Some days ago I used the code below to create a new job on Youtube's Analytics and Reporting API. The createTime for this job is 2022-07-25T13:54:51Z.
def create_job(token, reportTypeId, name):
print(F"START: RUNNING create_job")
data = {"reportTypeId": reportTypeId,
"name": name}
resp = requests.post("https://youtubereporting.googleapis.com/v1/jobs",
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + token},
json = data)
print(F"DONE: RUNNING create_job")
return None
I waited the 24h for the API to generate the reports, and when I ran the code below to list the existing reports for that job, I got urls for distinct dates.
def list_job_reports(token, jobId):
print(F"START: RUNNING list_job_reports")
# Fetching all existing reports for this job
url = f"https://youtubereporting.googleapis.com/v1/jobs/{jobId}/reports"
resp = requests.get(url,
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + token})
resp = json.loads(resp.text)
# Wrangling resp into dictionary with report date and url
reports_dict = {}
for row in resp['reports']:
report_date = row['startTime'].split('T')[0]
download_url = row['downloadUrl']
reports_dict[report_date] = download_url
print(F"DONE: RUNNING list_job_reports")
return reports_dict
I ran the function above on 2022-07-26, and the maximum date for a report generated was 2022-07-25 (same date as the job creation). Today, on 2022-07-28, I expected to have new reports, for 26th and 27th, but when I run list_job_reports now, the latest report is still the one for the 25th. It is as if the job didn't generate new daily reports automatically. I took a look at the documentation and I saw that just by creating a job, new reports should be generated daily (print below).
Did I miss something? Do I need to trigger the daily report generation somehow?
