Comprehensive overview of data points we collect and process
ViralRanks exclusively uses native YouTube Data API metrics and carefully calculated derived metrics that fully comply with' YouTube's Acceptable Metrics Guidelines. We do not create custom YouTube metrics or replace YouTube's native metrics with our own calculations.
We collect the total view count for each video every hour. Hourly growth is calculated by subtracting the previous hour's view count from the current hour's view count. This approach uses only official YouTube API data and simple math, ensuring accuracy and full compliance with YouTube's Acceptable Metrics Guidelines. No external data sources or custom metrics are used—just transparent, native YouTube data and straightforward calculations.
In compliance with YouTube's Terms of Service, we automatically remove video performance data older than 30 days through scheduled BigQuery SQL jobs. This ensures that our historical data analysis and trend calculations always adhere to YouTube's data retention requirements while maintaining accurate and compliant growth metrics.
