Youtube Analytics
Pulls channel stats, video performance, and engagement metrics straight from the YouTube Data API v3. Good for analyzing your own content strategy or comparing competitor channels. It batches requests efficiently (important since you only get 10,000 API units per day), calculates useful ratios like engagement rate and views per day, and checks basic YouTube SEO elements like title length and tag usage. The analysis output is genuinely detailed with top performers, content patterns, and actionable recommendations. Won't get you private analytics like CTR or retention though, that requires OAuth and YouTube Studio access. Solid for public data research without opening a browser.
