Playlist Analyzer

Methodology

How our analyzer fetches public YouTube playlist data and converts it into duration, availability, and engagement summaries.

Data Source

The analyzer uses YouTube Data API v3 to request public playlist and video metadata. It does not access private YouTube account data, require YouTube sign-in, or modify playlists.

Analysis Flow

  1. You enter a playlist URL and choose a playback speed.
  2. If supplied, your optional API key is sent to this site's server only for the current analysis request.
  3. The server extracts the playlist ID, calls YouTube's API, and returns public metadata and calculated results.
  4. The application totals available video durations, adjusts the total by playback speed, and summarizes counts and public engagement fields when available.
  5. The application server does not store submitted user API keys, playlist URLs, or analysis results.

Limitations

  • • Private, deleted, region-restricted, or unavailable videos may be excluded or marked unavailable.
  • • Engagement counts depend on what YouTube returns at request time.
  • • API quota limits may affect how many analyses can be completed.
