# my_videos_check (Personal YouTube Channel Monitor)

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 own 의 YouTube 채널 의 매 video 마다 매 view/like/comment/CTR/AVD 의 daily snapshot 을 매 fetch → DuckDB → 매 anomaly alert"**. 2026 creator workflow 의 기본 component. 매 YouTube Studio 의 dashboard 보다 훨씬 매 customizable + 매 multi-channel 비교 + 매 LLM 기반 insight.

## 매 핵심

### 매 Data sources
- **YouTube Data API v3**: video metadata, current snapshot stats.
- **YouTube Analytics API v2**: time-series (impressions, CTR, AVD, retention, traffic source) — 매 OAuth 필요.
- **YouTube Reporting API**: bulk daily CSV (매 large channel 에 적합).

### 매 Snapshot schema
- `video_id, captured_at, views, likes, comments, watch_time_min, avd_sec, ctr, impressions`.
- Time-series: `(video_id, day, metric)` — 매 partitioned.

### 매 Alerts
- View rate (24h growth) 가 매 baseline 의 3σ 밖.
- 매 Comment rate spike — possible viral 또는 controversy.
- CTR drop > 30% on recent uploads.
- 매 watch time 의 sudden cliff at specific timestamp (retention curve).

### 매 응용
1. 매 daily morning briefing (Telegram bot).
2. Auto-thumbnail A/B 결정.
3. 매 evergreen vs. 매 short-lived video classification.
4. Topic-level trending in own catalog.

## 💻 패턴

### OAuth setup (one-time)
```python
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics.readonly',
          'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly']
flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file('client_secret.json', SCOPES)
creds = flow.run_local_server(port=0)
with open('token.json', 'w') as f: f.write(creds.to_json())
```

### Daily snapshot
```python
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google.oauth2.credentials import Credentials
import duckdb, datetime as dt

creds = Credentials.from_authorized_user_file('token.json')
yt = build('youtube', 'v3', credentials=creds)
yta = build('youtubeAnalytics', 'v2', credentials=creds)
con = duckdb.connect('mychannel.db')

con.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS snapshots(
  video_id VARCHAR, captured_at TIMESTAMP, views BIGINT, likes BIGINT,
  comments BIGINT, watch_min DOUBLE, avd_sec DOUBLE, ctr DOUBLE, impressions BIGINT,
  PRIMARY KEY (video_id, captured_at)
)""")

def list_my_videos():
    res = yt.search().list(forMine=True, type='video', part='id', maxResults=50).execute()
    return [item['id']['videoId'] for item in res['items']]

def fetch_snapshot(video_ids):
    res = yt.videos().list(part='statistics,contentDetails,snippet', id=','.join(video_ids)).execute()
    rows = []
    for v in res['items']:
        s = v['statistics']
        rows.append({
            'video_id': v['id'],
            'views': int(s.get('viewCount', 0)),
            'likes': int(s.get('likeCount', 0)),
            'comments': int(s.get('commentCount', 0)),
        })
    return rows

def fetch_analytics(video_id, days=7):
    end = dt.date.today()
    start = end - dt.timedelta(days=days)
    res = yta.reports().query(
        ids='channel==MINE', startDate=str(start), endDate=str(end),
        metrics='views,estimatedMinutesWatched,averageViewDuration,impressions,impressionsCtr',
        dimensions='video', filters=f'video=={video_id}',
    ).execute()
    return res.get('rows', [[]])[0] if res.get('rows') else None
```

### Anomaly detector (Z-score)
```python
import statistics
def is_spike(video_id, metric='views', window=14, z=3.0):
    rows = con.execute(f"""
      SELECT {metric} FROM snapshots WHERE video_id=?
      ORDER BY captured_at DESC LIMIT {window+1}
    """, [video_id]).fetchall()
    if len(rows) < window + 1: return False
    today, hist = rows[0][0], [r[0] for r in rows[1:]]
    deltas = [hist[i] - hist[i+1] for i in range(len(hist)-1)]
    today_delta = today - hist[0]
    if not deltas or statistics.pstdev(deltas) == 0: return False
    return abs(today_delta - statistics.mean(deltas)) / statistics.pstdev(deltas) > z
```

### Telegram alert
```python
import requests, os
def alert(msg):
    requests.post(
        f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{os.environ['TG_TOKEN']}/sendMessage",
        json={'chat_id': os.environ['TG_CHAT'], 'text': msg, 'parse_mode': 'Markdown'},
    )

for vid in list_my_videos():
    if is_spike(vid):
        title = con.execute("SELECT title FROM videos WHERE video_id=?", [vid]).fetchone()[0]
        alert(f"*Spike*: [{title}](https://youtu.be/{vid})")
```

### LLM weekly digest (Claude)
```python
from anthropic import Anthropic
top = con.execute("""
  SELECT v.title, s.views, s.ctr, s.avd_sec
  FROM snapshots s JOIN videos v USING(video_id)
  WHERE s.captured_at::DATE = current_date
  ORDER BY s.views DESC LIMIT 10
""").fetchall()

resp = Anthropic().messages.create(
    model='claude-opus-4-7',
    max_tokens=1000,
    messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content':
        f"Weekly channel digest. Identify 3 actions. Data:\n{top}"}],
)
print(resp.content[0].text)
```

### Cron (systemd timer)
```ini
# ~/.config/systemd/user/yt-check.timer
[Unit]
Description=Daily YouTube channel snapshot
[Timer]
OnCalendar=*-*-* 09:00:00
Persistent=true
[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| Single channel, ≤ 500 videos | API v3 + Analytics v2, daily |
| 5k+ videos | Reporting API bulk CSV |
| Real-time spike | poll every 15m for new uploads only |
| Multi-channel agency | per-channel OAuth tokens, rate-limit pool |
| Privacy / no Google | 매 X — Analytics 의 own data 만 own 가 access |

**기본값**: daily 09:00 cron + Analytics v2 + DuckDB + 3σ Z-score alert + Telegram + weekly LLM digest.

## 🔗 Graph
- 변형: [[comment_harvester]]
- 응용: [[Telegram-Notify]] · [[Anomaly-Detection]]
- Adjacent: [[DuckDB]]

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: weekly digest, anomaly explanation, A/B thumbnail copy 의 generation.
**언제 X**: 매 ground-truth metric 의 fabrication — always cite raw numbers.

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Polling stats every minute**: quota 의 burn — 매 actual update lag 이 hours.
- **No baseline window**: every uptick = "spike" = noise.
- **Storing only current snapshot**: 매 trend 의 재구성 불가.
- **Hard-coded video list**: 매 new upload 의 miss.
- **OAuth token in repo**: revoke 즉시 필요. Use secret manager.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (YouTube Data API v3, Analytics API v2 docs, YouTube Reporting API guide).
- 신뢰도 A.
