# About YouTube data discrepancies in Supermetrics

This article covers the most common reasons for discrepancies between data you see on YouTube and the results in your Supermetrics reports.

## Data delays

The API may be up to 2 days behind on some video insights, so checking very current values (like today or yesterday) may not align with the Analytics UI reporting in YouTube.

## Monetization data

You can only pull monetization data for channels that have monetization enabled on YouTube. Make sure you're [eligible for YouTube's partner program](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/72851) and that you've [completed all the steps to turn on monetization for your YouTube channel](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/94522?hl=en) to access monetization metrics.

If you try to pull monetization data for a channel for which monetization isn't turned on, you'll get an error.
