YouTube Analytics - Data

what's the purpose of this repository?

this repository holds some data from my youtube channel, mainly the likes & dislikes my videos received

i want to be transparent on how my videos perform, since youtube decided to remove the public dislike counter on all videos which i find extremely stupid

how to fetch?

assuming you're getting data from allinone_data.json, here's the code: (i only typed this code and pasted from devtools in the browser)

example:

fetch(
	"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpa102/ytvotes-myvideos/main/allinone_data.json"
	).then((response) => {
		response.json().then((json) => {
			if (json) {
				let { i6 } = json;
				console.log(i6);
				ReceivedData = i6; // variable used for storing the fetched json data
			}
		})
	}
);

ReceivedData.id; // let's say you're getting the id stored in receivedData

where i# (i6 for example) is the index number

this will be the result:

{
	"id": "g4vUisXDmTg",
	"videoTitle": "sa: simulating \"Extended Gang Wars\" from PC to Mobile (revised vid)",
	"viewCount": 38590,
	"likeCount": 560,
	"dislikeCount": 19,
	"favoriteCount": 0,
	"commentCount": 152
}

Questions

can't you and me just rely on dislikes provided from Return Youtube Dislike?

while it does a decent job at displaying the "probable" amount of dislikes a video has, it's still mediocre for me

by getting my dislike data myself from youtube studio, this makes the votes extremely accurate, like 1:1

why are they far off compared to google's youtube api and return youtube dislike api?

just like https://returnyoutubedislikeapi.com, i don't get to update them often. they will stay that way until i decide to

why are json files stored in their own directory?

if you're the type of person to have all things in one place, there's this file named allinone_data.json

they have their own directories because i use it to fetch the json data by their video id in the url path, example is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpa102/ytvotes-myvideos/main/videoids/g4vUisXDmTg/data.json

side comment

if other youtubers have a github account and decided to share their video statistics like i did, i think it would be great for everyone
