Panda Video is a Brazilian video hosting platform used for sales videos (VSLs), online courses and live streams, with a secure player, DRM and viewing analytics. This connector reads your video library (videos, folders, playlists and lives) and your viewing analytics: views and plays per day, per video and hour, per country, browser, operating system and embedding page, and the average engagement of each video.
The connector only reads data. It never uploads, changes or deletes videos, folders, playlists or lives.

Configuring Panda Video as a Source

In the Sources tab, click on the “Add source” button located on the top right of your screen. Then, select the Panda Video option from the list of connectors. Click Next and you’ll be prompted to add your access.

1. Add account access

You’ll need a Panda Video API key. In the Panda Video dashboard, go to Settings > Advanced > API Key and copy the key. The following configurations are available:
  • API Key: Your Panda Video API key. Paste it as it is, without a Bearer prefix. The key gives access to the whole Panda Video account, so keep it private.
  • Start Date: The first day of viewing analytics read on the first sync. The analytics are read one day at a time, so an older date makes the first sync longer. Videos, folders, playlists and lives are always read in full, whatever this date.
Once you’re done, click Next.

2. Select streams

Choose which data streams you want to sync. For faster extractions, select only the streams that are relevant to your analysis. You can select entire groups of streams or pick specific ones.
Tip: The stream can be found more easily by typing its name.
Select the streams and click Next.

3. Configure data streams

Customize how you want your data to appear in your catalog. Select the desired layer where the data will be placed, a folder to organize it inside the layer, a name for each table (which will effectively contain the fetched data) and the type of sync.
  • Layer: choose between the existing layers on your catalog. This is where you will find your new extracted tables as the extraction runs successfully.
  • Folder: a folder can be created inside the selected layer to group all tables being created from this new data source.
  • Table name: we suggest a name, but feel free to customize it. You have the option to add a prefix to all tables at once and make this process faster!
  • Sync Type: you can choose between INCREMENTAL and FULL_TABLE.
    • Incremental: every time the extraction happens, we’ll get only the new data, which is good if, for example, you want to keep every record ever fetched.
    • Full table: every time the extraction happens, we’ll get the current state of the data, which is good if, for example, you don’t want to have deleted data in your catalog.
Once you are done configuring, click Next.

4. Configure data source

Describe your data source for easy identification within your organization, not exceeding 140 characters. To define your Trigger, consider how often you want data to be extracted from this source. This decision usually depends on how frequently you need the new table data updated (every day, once a week, or only at specific times). Panda Video processes each day’s analytics after the day ends, so a daily sync is usually enough. Optionally, you can define some additional settings:
  • Configure Delta Log Retention and determine for how long we should store old states of this table as it gets updated. Read more about this resource here.
  • Determine when to execute an Additional Full Sync. This will complement the incremental data extractions, ensuring that your data is completely synchronized with your source every once in a while. For the analytics tables, a full sync reads every day again from the Start Date, which takes longer.
Once you are ready, click Next to finalize the setup.

5. Check your new source

You can view your new source on the Sources page. If needed, manually trigger the source extraction by clicking on the arrow button. Once executed, your data will appear in your Catalog.
For you to be able to see it on your Catalog, you need at least one successful source run.

How the data is read

  • Analytics are read by UTC day, up to yesterday. Panda Video finishes processing a day after it ends, so today’s partial numbers are not loaded. Each sync also reads the last 7 days again, to pick up late processing.
  • Daily totals are in UTC. Every date is a UTC day, so daily numbers may not match the Panda Video dashboard when it shows another time zone (for example, Brasília time). Totals over a week or a month match closely.
  • Breakdowns are checked against the daily totals. If Panda Video returns no country, browser or operating system data for any of the days read although some had views, that table is not updated in the run (with a message saying so) instead of loading a gap; the next run tries again. A few days without breakdown data among normal days (for example, a handful of views with no browser or country recorded) only produce a warning, and the table loads. The referrer table only warns, because views opened directly on the player link may have no referrer.
  • Unique viewers are counted per hour by Panda Video. A day’s unique_view and unique_play are the sum of its hours, so a person who comes back later the same day is counted again. This is how Panda Video defines these metrics.
  • Joining analytics to videos: the analytics tables identify videos by video_external_id. Join them with videos.video_external_id, not with videos.id.
  • Rate limit: Panda Video allows 200 requests per minute per network address. The connector stays well below it and waits when Panda Video asks it to, so a large first sync can take a while.
  • Permissions: if Panda Video refuses a group of tables (for example, analytics not included in your plan), those tables are skipped with a warning that names them, and the other tables keep syncing.
