# Get YouTube Top-Track Chart (weekly)

`GET /api/charts/youtube/tracks`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.chartmetric.com`

- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/chartmetric/apis/chartmetric-developer-api/docs/api/charts/youtube/tracks/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Return the YouTube weekly top-track chart for a given `country_code` and `date`. Each row merges track-basic-info with the chart row and carries both `rankStats` (rank history) and `viewStats` (views history). Data is updated weekly on Thursdays.

- `date` string, date-time: Date for the time-slice (YYYY-MM-DD). Required unless `latest=true`.
- `offset` integer: Number of items to skip from the start of the result set; pair with `limit` to paginate.
