Usage

Fetching Channel Statistics

Analyzing Top Videos

YTStatsAnalyzerGo can analyze top videos based on views, likes, and comments. Results can be printed to the console or saved to a CSV file. Examples:

• Analyzing most viewed videos:

go run main.go -top=views -count=10

• Analyzing least viewed videos:

go run main.go -top=views -count=10 -asc

Saving to CSV

To save the results to a CSV file, use the '-csv' flag:

Customization

Modifying Output

The output format can be customized by modifying the 'getTopVideosCSV' function in 'main.go'.

Example: Changing CSV Format

To modify the CSV format, update the following lines in 'getTopVideosCSV':

result.WriteString("Rank,Title,Views,Likes,Comments\n")
result.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf("%d,\"%s\",%d,%d,%d\n",
    i+1, video.Snippet.Title, video.Statistics.ViewCount, video.Statistics.LikeCount, video.Statistics.CommentCount))
