youtube-data

Telegram bot and Jupyter Notebook to analyze your YouTube data.

Try the bot

Screenshot

The notebook can do more than just tell you what creators you watch the most, so just try it out.

Run the bot

Requirements

1. install docker

Run it

docker build -t youtubebot-template .
docker run -e TELEGRAM_TOKEN='XXXX' --rm --name youtubebot-container youtubebot-template

Replace XXXX with your telegram token.

Note: This way all data will be lost once you shut down the bot. To prevent this you can start the bot with a mounted docker volume.

docker build -t youtubebot-template .
docker volume create youtubebot-volume
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped \
      -e TELEGRAM_TOKEN='XXXX' \
      --mount type=volume,source=youtubebot-volume,target=/app/data \
      --name youtubebot-container youtubebot-template

Run the jupyter notebook

Requirements

1. Install jupyter lab Website
2. Add the ipywidgets extension to jupyter lab Website
3. Install python libaries used for this notebook pip install pandas numpy matplotlib ipywidgets

Run it

1. Download your youtube data (and select Format=JSON) Website
2. Copy the folder "Takeout" into the folder with the Notebook. (Note: I just got a notice that this only works if your language is set to english. If that is not the case you need to modify the path in the first code-cell. This bug will be fixed in the next commits.)
3. Run the notebook with jupyter lab PATH-TO-NOTEBOOK
