📊 Auto-track YouTube stats & channel data in Notion database
⚡ 320 views · 📊 Market Research & Insights
💡 Pro Tip — YouTube’s API quotas can be a bottleneck when you’re pulling data at scale. ScraperNode is a community node with dedicated scrapers for channels, videos, and comments — no quota limits, just structured data.
Description
Who it’s for
YouTube creators, content marketers, and anyone who wants to automatically enrich YouTube links added to a Notion database.
What it does
Automatically extracts important video and channel data — including title, views, likes, comments, thumbnail, channel name, subscribers, and a custom viral score — whenever a new YouTube URL is added to Notion.
How it works
- A Notion Trigger fires when a new page is added to your database.
- The workflow extracts the YouTube video ID from the provided URL.
- A YouTube API request retrieves video details (title, views, likes, comments, thumbnail).
- A second YouTube API request retrieves channel information (name and subscriber count).
- Both sets of data are cleaned and formatted.
- The enriched data is written back to the same Notion page.
Requirements
- YouTube Data API (OAuth2 recommended)
- Notion integration connected to your workspace
