YouTube Integration

Track channel analytics and read your comments in one inbox. Publishing is not available — we never upload to your channel.

API Version: YouTube Data API v3|Updated: 2025-11-18

Overview

YouTube is the world's second-largest search engine and leading video platform with over 2 billion logged-in users monthly. Aibrify connects to YouTube for measurement and for reading your comments.

Publishing is not available. Uploading requires Google's reviewed upload scope, which Aibrify does not hold, so every connected channel is read-only. You keep uploading in YouTube Studio; Aibrify reads the results and keeps your comments in one inbox alongside every other platform.

Key capabilities include: - Track video performance - Analyze audience retention - Read comments in your unified inbox (replies happen in YouTube Studio) - See YouTube next to your other channels in one dashboard
