AI Native Flow Case Study #3
⚡️ Scenario
Staying on top of YouTube trends is tough! 🚀 With so much content out there, it’s hard to know what’s actually gaining traction. Creators need a quick way to spot trending topics and optimize their content strategy—before the trend fades! 📈
That’s exactly what I found: a n8n workflow template, created by @leonardogrig, that tracks trending topics and analyzes video performance in real-time, located at https://n8n.io/workflows/2606-ai-youtube-trend-finder-based-on-niche/. By leveraging AI and the YouTube API, it helps creators identify and analyze trends within specific fields, making it easier to develop effective content strategies and boost audience engagement.
⚙️ Workflow Breakdown
1️⃣ This n8n workflow is specifically designed for YouTube content creators to identify trending topics within a specific niche.
2️⃣ It collects and analyzes video performance metrics from the past two days through YouTube’s search and data APIs.
3️⃣ The workflow includes user query, AI-generated search terms, YouTube search, video details retrieval, data processing, and result output.
4️⃣ The output includes the most common themes, links to trending videos and their respective channels, as well as engagement statistics.
5️⃣ This workflow is ideal for YouTubers or marketers seeking data-driven inspiration to create content that aligns with current trends and maximizes audience engagement.
6️⃣ Key points to note when using the workflow:
- Prerequisites: You will need a Google Auth2 Client ID and Client Secret, as well as a YouTube API v3 Account Key to use this template.
- Workflow Composition: Note that this template is a combination of two workflows. Therefore, you will need to create two separate workflows when using it.
- YouTube API Key Usage: The YouTube API key should be used in the “find_video_data1” node of the search_youtube workflow.
By following these guidelines, you will be able to set up and use the n8n workflow effectively for identifying and analyzing YouTube trends based on your specific niche.
