batch_report_download.py doesn't work anymore.

Here is the error log:

$ python batch_report_download.py  --content-owner-id [my-content-owner-id] --report-type claims

Authentication successful.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "batch_report_download.py", line 117, in <module>
    reports = get_available_reports(youtubeAnalytics, args.content_owner_id)
  File "batch_report_download.py", line 81, in get_available_reports
    return definitions_list_response["items"]
KeyError: 'items'

Mostly because youtubeAnalytics.batchReportDefinitions.list's result is empty, see result from https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#s/youtubeAnalytics/v1beta1/youtubeAnalytics.batchReportDefinitions.list

Am I missing something here or Is there any way to fix this? I've tried to google around a lot and still can not find any solution to this.

@lenguyenthedat I'm also having the same issue, did you find any solution to this?

[lenguyenthedat]

Nope, we had to use https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#s/youtubeAnalytics/v1beta1/youtubeAnalytics.reports.query instead.

@lenguyenthedat Have you tried contacting any developers from youtube?
I really need the reports downloading feature. Have made it work before?

[lenguyenthedat]

@pprmint nope, I only did it via this github issue.
AFAIK it doesn't work 6 months ago, not sure about before that since I didn't touch them then.
I ended up using https://github.com/youtube/api-samples/blob/master/python/yt_analytics_report.py, which provides almost all that I need, instead.

@lenguyenthedat thanks! Anyway, I have means to contact them and I've already done so.
If they have any reply, Ill post it here.

[ninnzz]

@lenguyenthedat I got a reply from youtube and they explained that the API is not yet available or out in production. But they enabled it on our account at least that's what I understood.

Yes, there will be a new API in testing stage for batch reporting. I think that's why this old one stopped working.

Schism between you and tomorrow night for me
