Daily Analytics Report Generator

In this sample, you will learn how to use the Analytics API to generate a daily analytics report on all the videos in your account for the earliest date that data is available to the current date. The report is generated in CSV format. A report for each video is generated, and then you must copy and save the data to a CSV file before proceeding to the next video.

Limitations

Getting Credentials

To get a client_id and client_secret, you will need to go to the OAuth UI and register this app:

Managing API Authentication Credentials

These are the permissions you will need:

You can also get your credentials via CURL or Postman - see:

If you are getting credentials directly from the API, these are the permissions you need:

        [
          "video-cloud/analytics/read",
          "video-cloud/video/read"
        ]

Using the CodePen

Here are some tips to effectively use the above CodePen:

Toggle the actual display of the app by clicking the Result button.
Click the HTML/CSS/JS buttons to display ONE of the code types.

Proxy code

In order to build your own version the sample app on this page, you must create and host your own proxy. (The proxies used by Brightcove Learning Services only accept requests from Brightcove domains.) A sample proxy, very similar to the one we use, but without the checks that block requests from non-Brightcove domains, can be found in this GitHub repository. You will also find basic instructions for using it there, and a more elaborate guide to building apps around the proxy in Using the REST APIs.
