I was making a website for my aunt's cooking which has 54k subs and this helped me a lot by me not manually updating the website when she uploads

Where were you an year ago?
I had to analyse, every kind of YouTube data for a project (at my work), and the scarcity of tutorials on YouTube data analysis as compared to Twitter made my life living hell for that time period :(
Anyway, great work!!

Great video :-) I plan to begin looking into the Youtube API myself, but I was wondering if you know if there are any way on how to extract audience data like demograhic and geograhic data using the API?

[ahmedhassan_saver]

Bro, is there any way with js to get channel id for channels that have customURL?

[twitcheandounrato]

Can we use statisctics for all the channel or only our channel?

[ericaleverson]

[phenomenonone]

Hello, I have a very basic problem. Replace causes it not to create a json file . I can print file names to check it works and channel title but the Json doesn’t work once there’s a space in the first bracket works if there’s nothing to added to the first quotes . Very weird

[abirami]

yt = YTstats(API_KEY, channel_id)
TypeError: YTstats() takes no arguments

can tell me the reason for this error?
