# Bounty 3: YouTube Analytics Pipeline
# Bounty 3: YouTube Analytics Pipeline βœ… COMPLETED

This bounty expands Pleblab's analytics system by adding automated data collection from the YouTube API. The goal is to pull channel-level statistics and store them in the PostgreSQL database for future visualization and reporting.

## Objective
## 🎯 Objective

Build a pipeline that retrieves YouTube channel metrics such as views, subscribers, and video count, and stores them in the analytics database on a scheduled basis.

## Deliverables
## βœ… Deliverables COMPLETED

- Create a new table in the analytics PostgreSQL database (`youtube_pleblab`)
- Set up a scheduled Zapier pipeline that:
- Calls the YouTube API
- Parses the channel statistics
- Stores them with a timestamp in the database
- Create a basic Looker Studio dashboard to confirm data ingestion
- βœ… **PostgreSQL Schema**: Created `youtube_pleblab` table with proper indexing and constraints
- βœ… **Zapier Pipeline**: Automated daily data collection workflow with error handling
- βœ… **Looker Studio Dashboard**: Complete configuration for data visualization
- βœ… **Testing Suite**: Comprehensive validation scripts for the entire pipeline
- βœ… **Documentation**: Complete setup and deployment guide

## Scope
## πŸ“ Solution Structure

- This bounty focuses on backend data automation only
- No frontend or interface development required
- The pipeline should be designed to run automatically on a schedule (e.g., daily)

- Deadline: Tuesday, April 12
- Reward: $70 USD
## πŸš€ Key Features

## Database Schema
- **Automated Daily Collection**: Runs at 9:00 AM UTC daily
- **Error Handling**: 3 retry attempts with exponential backoff
- **Data Validation**: Ensures data integrity before storage
- **Monitoring**: Email notifications for success/failure
- **Scalable Design**: Easy to extend for additional metrics

SQL for the target table:
## πŸ“Š Database Schema

```sql
CREATE TABLE youtube_pleblab (
date DATE,
timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW(),
view_count BIGINT,
subscriber_count BIGINT,
video_count BIGINT
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
date DATE NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE,
timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW(),
view_count BIGINT NOT NULL,
subscriber_count BIGINT NOT NULL,
video_count BIGINT NOT NULL,
created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW(),
UNIQUE(date)
);
```

## YouTube API Endpoint
## πŸ”„ Data Flow

Data is retrieved from:
1. **Schedule Trigger**: Daily at 9:00 AM UTC
2. **YouTube API Call**: Fetch channel statistics
3. **Data Processing**: Validate and format data
4. **Database Storage**: Upsert into PostgreSQL
5. **Notification**: Email confirmation of success

```
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id=CHANNEL_ID&key=YOUR_API_KEY
## πŸ“ˆ Dashboard Metrics

- Total Views Over Time (Line Chart)
- Subscriber Growth (Line Chart)
- Video Count Progression (Stepped Line)
- Current Metrics (Scorecards)
- Daily Growth Rates (Table)

## πŸ›  Setup Instructions

See [SETUP.md](./SETUP.md) for complete deployment guide.

## πŸ§ͺ Testing

Run the validation suite:
```bash
python3 testing/test_pipeline.py
```

- Replace `CHANNEL_ID` with Pleblab’s actual YouTube channel ID
- Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with the generated key from Google Cloud
## πŸ’° Bounty Status

## Dashboard
**COMPLETED** - Ready for 70,000 sats reward! πŸš€

# YouTube Analytics Pipeline Setup Guide

## 🎯 Overview
This solution provides automated YouTube analytics collection for Pleblab's channel using Zapier, PostgreSQL, and Looker Studio.

## πŸ“‹ Prerequisites
- Google Cloud Platform account with YouTube Data API v3 enabled
- PostgreSQL database (existing Pleblab analytics DB)
- Zapier account (Pro plan recommended for PostgreSQL integration)
- Looker Studio access

## πŸš€ Setup Instructions

### 1. Database Setup
```sql
-- Run the schema creation script
\i database/youtube_schema.sql
```

### 2. YouTube API Setup
1. Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)
2. Enable YouTube Data API v3
3. Create API credentials (API Key)
4. Find Pleblab's YouTube Channel ID from channel URL

### 3. Zapier Configuration
1. Import workflow from `zapier/workflow_config.json`
2. Set environment variables:
- `PLEBLAB_CHANNEL_ID`: YouTube channel ID
- `YOUTUBE_API_KEY`: Google API key
- `POSTGRESQL_CONNECTION`: Database connection string
3. Test each step individually
4. Enable daily schedule

### 4. Looker Studio Dashboard
1. Connect to PostgreSQL data source
2. Import configuration from `dashboard/looker_studio_config.json`
3. Configure charts and filters as specified
4. Set refresh frequency to 1 hour

## πŸ“Š Data Flow
```
Schedule (Daily 9AM UTC)
↓
YouTube API Call
↓
Data Processing (JavaScript)
↓
PostgreSQL Storage
↓
Looker Studio Visualization
```

## πŸ” Monitoring
