Who Should Use This?

This tool is ideal for:

• Digital marketers building reports and measuring video results for campaigns.
• Content strategists organizing data to support planning and audience growth.
• Research teams and analysts collecting video metrics for trend analysis or competitor reviews.

How It Works

• The workflow begins when you click Execute Workflow or Test Workflow manually in n8n.
• It reads the list of video URLs in the connected Google Sheet. Only the URLs marked with the Ready status will be processed.
• The tool loops through each video and prepares the necessary data for the YouTube API call later.
• For each available URL, the tool extracts the video ID and sends a request to the YouTube API to fetch key metrics.
• The response is checked:
  • If successful: the video’s statistics are written back to the corresponding row in the Google Sheet and the row’s status is marked as Finished.
  • If unsuccessful: the row’s status is updated to Error for later review.

How To Use

1. Download the workflow package.
2. Import the workflow package into your n8n interface.
3. Duplicate the YouTube – Get Video Statistics Google Sheet template into your Google Sheets account.
4. Set up Google Cloud Console credentials in the following nodes in N8N, ensuring enabled access and suitable rights to Google Sheets and YouTube services:
   • For Google Sheets access, ensure each node is properly connected to the correct tab in your connected Google Sheet template:
     • Node Google Sheets – Get Video URLs → connected to Tab Video URLs;
     • Node Google Sheets – Update Data → connected to Tab Video URLs;
     • Node Google Sheets – Update Data – Error** → connected to Tab Video URLs.
   • For YouTube access, set up a GET method to connect to YouTube API in the following node:
     • Node HTTP – Find Video Data.
5. In your connected Google Sheet, enter the video URLs that you want to crawl and set the rows’ status to Ready.
6. Run the workflow by clicking Execute Workflow or Test Workflow in n8n.
7. View the results in your connected Google Sheet: Successful fetches will update the rows’ status in Column A in the Video URLs tab to Finished and the video metrics will populate. If the call fails, the rows’ status in Column A in the tab will be marked as Error.

Requirements

• Basic setup in Google Cloud Console (OAuth or API Key method enabled) with enabled access to YouTube and Google Sheets.

How To Customize

• By default, the workflow is manually triggered in N8N. However, you can automate the process by adding a Google Sheets trigger that monitors new entries automatically.
• If you want to fetch additional video fields or analytics (like tags, category ID, etc.), you can expand the HTTP – Find Video Data node to include those.
