Uncover the power of the YouTube Data API v3 as we journey into fetching channel statistics and analyzing top videos based on views, likes, and comments.

Getting Started:

Prerequisites:
Before embarking on your data exploration with YTStatsAnalyzerGo, make sure you have Go installed on your machine. Additionally, secure a Google Cloud API key for YouTube Data API v3.

Installation:

• Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/YTStatsAnalyzerGo.git
cd YTStatsAnalyzerGo

• Add Your API Key:

Insert your Google Cloud API key into the 'apiKey' constant in 'main.go':

const apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"

• Run the Application:

go run main.go

Usage:

• Fetching Channel Statistics: Run the command to fetch and display channel statistics for a specified channel:

go run main.go

• Analyzing Top Videos:
  Analyze top videos based on views, likes, and comments. Results can be printed to the console or saved to a CSV file.
  Examples:

• Analyzing most viewed videos:
  

go run main.go -top=views -count=10

• Analyzing least viewed videos:

go run main.go -top=views -count=10 -asc

• Saving to CSV: Save results to a CSV file using the '-csv' flag:

go run main.go -top=likes -count=5 -csv=output.csv

Customization:

• Modifying Output: Customize the output format by tweaking the 'getTopVideosCSV' function in 'main.go'.

Example: Changing CSV Format:
Modify the CSV format by updating the 'getTopVideosCSV' function. For instance:

result.WriteString("Rank,Title,Views,Likes,Comments\n")
result.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf("%d,\"%s\",%d,%d,%d\n",
    i+1, video.Snippet.Title, video.Statistics.ViewCount, video.Statistics.LikeCount, video.Statistics.CommentCount))
