YouTube Gaming Content Analysis System
1. Overview
Developed an automated pipeline to analyze gaming YouTube channels and identify content trends, game preferences, and audience engagement patterns. The system scrapes video data, categorizes gaming vs. non-gaming content, and generates actionable reports to help brands/influencers optimize their content strategies.
2. Tech Stack
Data Collection: YouTube Data API, n8n (workflow triggers)
Analysis: Google Gemini (NLP for transcript analysis), Python (pandas, regex)
Storage: Google Sheets (raw data + reports)
Automation: n8n (orchestration), Cron jobs (scheduling)
3. General Flow
Channel & Date Setup:
Input target channels (e.g., "Myth") and date ranges into n8n.
Data Scraping:
n8n triggers YouTube API to fetch all videos in the specified timeframe.
Collects metadata: titles, descriptions, views, transcripts.
Content Categorization:
Python scripts filter gaming-related content using keywords (game titles, terms like "gameplay").
Gemini analyzes transcripts to detect primary/secondary games discussed.
Trend Tracking:
Tracks frequency of game mentions (e.g., Fortnite, Valorant) over time.
Flags viral content patterns (e.g., challenge videos, collaborations).
Reporting:
Auto-generates Excel/Google Sheets reports with:
Top 5 games per creator.
Engagement metrics (views vs. game type).
Content gaps (untapped games/trends).
4. Input & Output
Input:
YouTube channel Excel sheet.
Output:
Structured CSV/Google Sheets with:
Processed video metadata.
Game mention frequency tables.
Engagement heatmaps (views vs. content type).
5. Key Features
Automated Scraping: Hands-free data collection via n8n + YouTube API.
NLP-Powered Insights: Gemini identifies subtle game references (e.g., slang, abbreviations).
Trend Alerts: Flags rising/declining games in creator content.
Cross-Channel Comparison: Benchmarks multiple creators’ game preferences.
Google Sheets Integration: Real-time updates for collaborative analysis.
