Analyze Trending YouTube Videos with Apify, OpenAI & Google Sheets

This workflow streamlines YouTube content research by starting with a form input for a keyword or topic. It uses Apify to scrape trending videos matching the query, then filters for high-potential candidates based on views, engagement, and relevance.

Next, OpenAI-powered nodes analyze video thumbnails for visual appeal and clickability, extract insights from transcripts, and generate SEO-optimized titles plus detailed video outlines. This AI-driven process identifies viral trends and provides ready-to-use content blueprints, saving hours of manual research.

Results are stored in Google Sheets, with duplicate checks to avoid redundancy. Benefits include rapid idea generation for creators, marketers, and agencies; scalable trend monitoring; and actionable data export. Ideal for YouTube channels, social media teams, or anyone needing fresh, data-backed content strategies in niches like news, lifestyle, or tech.
