The "12.5 Youtube Faceless Video Research" workflow automates the process of researching faceless YouTube video ideas by fetching, filtering, and storing data from YouTube. It systematically gathers trending videos in a given niche, extracts relevant video metadata (title, channel, views, publish date, etc.), and stores this data in a Google Sheet for further analysis.

How It Works

1. Triggering the Workflow

   • The workflow is scheduled to run at set intervals or can be triggered manually.
   • It starts by checking Google Sheets for previously recorded video IDs to avoid duplicates.

2. Fetching Video Data

   • It uses YouTube API to search for new videos based on a predefined topic (e.g., "Bedtime Stories").
   • Filters are applied to limit results to long-form videos, English language, and recently published.

3. Processing Video Data

   • The workflow retrieves detailed video information, including:
     • Title
     • Channel Name
     • Publish Date
     • Video URL
     • View Count
   • It then updates Google Sheets with this data, ensuring no duplicate entries.

4. Filtering Out Existing Videos

   • The workflow compares the fetched videos against the existing database.
   • Videos that are already recorded are filtered out.

5. Storing and Updating Data

   • The final list of new videos is appended to Google Sheets.
   • A daily record of view counts is updated for performance tracking.
