title: Getting started with the YouTube Analytics API?
body: <p>How can I "link" a person's youtube account to an account on my website? I am trying to get Analytics from videos, how much money they have made, etc. I know i am supposed to be using the YouTube Analytics API, but I see tons of different documentation and it gets SO confusing. Are there any PHP libraries I can use to get this data and to link the user's account to my web application? I am also confused on where I get an OAuth Key.</p>
  
  <p>Here are some sites i have looked at:</p>
  
  <p>1) <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20694736/youtube-analytics-api-php-samples">Site One</a> </p>
  
  <p>2) <a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/libraries" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Site Two</a></p>
  
  <p>On site two, I looked at the examples, but nothing really helped me understand even how to start.</p>
