YouTube Channel Finder
Search YouTube channels by keyword from a curated MongoDB dataset. Filter by country, subscriber range, average views, and posting frequency. Free users get ranges; paid users get exact metrics and optional live YouTube API data.
How it works
Keyword Input
Enter a keyword to search a curated MongoDB dataset of YouTube channels for relevant creators.
Dataset Search
Channels are matched based on keyword relevance using stored metadata rather than live YouTube API calls initially.
Filtering Controls
Optional filters allow narrowing results by country, subscriber range, average views range, and posting frequency.
Range Metrics
Free users receive subscriber and view metrics displayed as ranges instead of exact values.
Paid Enhancement
Paid users unlock exact metrics and optional live statistics fetched directly from the YouTube Data API.
Pagination Logic
Paid plans enable pagination and expanded result limits to explore a larger set of matching channels.
