YouTube Analytics
YT Analytics tracks any YouTube channel's performance without an account — enter an email and a channel URL and, after a 6-digit email OTP, watch subscriber growth, daily views, and top-video metrics render in interactive charts. n8n workflows collect and store the data, a proxy route handler keeps the API key server-side, and SWR caches responses for five minutes to avoid redundant webhook calls.

How a channel is added.
- 1Enter an email and a YouTube channel URL.
- 2A 6-digit OTP is emailed and verified before any data loads.
- 3The frontend calls /api/webhook, which injects the key and forwards to n8n.
- 4n8n fetches and stores the channel's metrics.
- 5SWR caches the response for five minutes and renders the charts.
Proxy and cache.
Proxy route handler
One /api/webhook handler identifies the event, injects the key server-side, and forwards to n8n.
Seven webhook events
Channel retrieval and storage, tracked-channel lookup, daily snapshots, video metrics, deletion, OTP, and contact.
SWR caching
Five-minute response caching prevents redundant webhook calls.
