# Get video analytics

> Viewing analytics for one video: plays, unique sessions, watch time, plays per day, retention per one-percent slice, geography, referrers, UTM traffic sources, and call-to-action clicks. Available to the video's creator, its collaborators, and workspace members it is shared with. Dates are whole UTC days; omit both for all time.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.json get /v1/videos/{id}/analytics
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  description: >-
    The Tella Public API allows you to programmatically access your videos and
    playlists, including transcripts, chapters, and thumbnails.


    ## Authentication


    All requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

    ```

    Authorization: Bearer tella_pk_xxxxx...

    ```


    API keys can be generated in your Tella workspace settings.


    ## Rate Limiting


    The API is rate-limited to 100 requests per minute per user within a
    workspace.

    Rate limit information is returned in response headers:

    - `RateLimit-Policy`: Named quota, request limit, and window in seconds

    - `RateLimit`: Remaining quota and seconds until reset

    - `X-RateLimit-Limit`: Maximum requests per window

    - `X-RateLimit-Remaining`: Remaining requests in current window

    - `X-RateLimit-Reset`: Unix timestamp in milliseconds when the window resets


    A `429 Too Many Requests` response also includes `Retry-After` in seconds.
