FAQ
Questions people ask
How do I connect YouTube?
On the setup page, click "Sign in with Google" and approve read-only YouTube access on Google's own screen. If your channel belongs to a brand account, pick that channel when Google asks.
Can the AI change anything on my channel?
No. 500Toolbox asks Google only for read-only YouTube and YouTube Analytics access. Nothing can upload, edit, delete, comment or change settings.
Why do reports end three days ago?
YouTube Analytics data arrives two to three days late. Ending earlier keeps the last days from looking like a sudden drop. Lifetime counts in the video list are YouTube's live public counters.
Why is age and gender data missing?
YouTube only reports demographics for signed-in viewers and hides small groups for privacy, so smaller channels often get none.
What does it cost?
Each tool shows its credit price - most reports cost 1 credit, the channel summary and video report 2, and channel details and the account status are free. Your account gets free credits every month, and you are only charged when a call succeeds: anything that fails is refunded automatically.
Is my Google token safe?
It is stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), used only on our server to call Google, and never sent to your AI app. AI apps only receive the report results they ask for.
How do I disconnect?
On the YouTube page of your dashboard, "Disconnect" deletes the stored token. You can also remove individual AI apps there, and withdraw 500Toolbox's access in your Google account at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
