Track Top YouTube Videos by View Count with Google Sheets

This n8n workflow streamlines YouTube video performance monitoring by pulling the top videos by view count from a list of channels defined in a Google Sheet input tab. It uses the YouTube Data API v3 to retrieve video data including titles, IDs, links, and channel names, then appends this information to an output tab in the same spreadsheet. Ideal for marketers, content creators, and analysts needing regular insights without manual effort.

Key benefits include time savings on data collection, real-time tracking of viral content, and easy scalability by simply updating the channel list and video count per channel in the input sheet. The workflow handles multiple channels efficiently, sorting videos by views to highlight top performers, enabling quick identification of successful content strategies.

Use cases span social media management, competitive analysis (e.g., monitoring rival channels), performance reporting, and content ideation. Schedule it to run daily for automated reports, integrate with other tools for notifications on new top videos, or expand for metrics like likes and comments. Requires Google Sheets credentials and a YouTube API key for seamless operation.
