📊 automated

Welcome to automated – a GitHub-powered dashboard for tracking YouTube channel statistics, cryptocurrency prices (XMR + BTC), and daily GitHub activity streaks using GitHub Actions and GitHub Pages.

🔧 What This Repo Does

This repo uses GitHub Actions to automatically:

• Fetch YouTube stats (subscribers, views, videos) from multiple channels
• Track Monero (XMR) and Bitcoin (BTC) prices 3x daily
• Keep a daily commit streak alive with a timestamp file
• Display everything neatly on a public GitHub Pages dashboard

• Appends to a youtube.csv for long-term tracking
• Updates a current snapshot in docs/youtube.json
• Outputs hosted live via GitHub Pages
• Displays graph for visual representation of growth over time.

📁 Files:

• youtube/youtube.csv – historical stats
• docs/youtube.json – latest snapshot (used on website)

⏱ Schedule: every 48 hours
