Everything You Need for YouTube Analytics

Track video performance across views, engagement, and watch time without managing the YouTube Data API.

Video-Level Metrics

Get views, likes, comments, and shares for every YouTube video. Track performance from the moment of publication.

Watch Time Analytics

See total watch time in minutes and average view duration in seconds. Understand how long viewers are actually watching your content.

Shorts Support

Analytics work for both long-form YouTube videos and YouTube Shorts. Same endpoint, same response format.

Engagement Rate

PostPeer calculates engagement rate automatically — the percentage of views that resulted in likes, comments, or shares.

Date Range Filtering

Filter video analytics by date range. Find your best-performing videos over any time period.

No YouTube API Setup

Skip the YouTube Data API, OAuth consent screens, and quota management. PostPeer handles everything.
