Add YouTube thumbnail impressions and thumbnail CTR metrics

Hi! I’m using Coupler’s YouTube connector and currently pull daily per-video data into Google Sheets using Video detailed statistics.

I’m looking to add these YouTube reach metrics:

  • video_thumbnail_impressions

  • video_thumbnail_impressions_ctr

Ideally at a daily, per-video level with dimensions such as:

  • Date

  • Video ID

  • Video title

  • Video published at

I checked both Video detailed statistics and the Custom report metric picker, and Coupler’s AI assistant also confirmed that these fields are not currently documented or supported in the YouTube connector.

These metrics are important for evaluating video performance because they help distinguish between:

  • low reach / low impressions, and

  • adequate impressions but weak thumbnail/title click-through.

Google now exposes these metrics through the YouTube Reporting API reach reports, including channel_reach_basic_a1.

It would be very useful if Coupler could support them either:

  1. as additional metrics in an existing video report, or

  2. as a new Video Reach / Channel Reach report type.

Thanks!
