How We Track
Official YouTube Data API v3 - view counts, likes, durations, and metadata pulled straight from YouTube.
Every 12 hours for videos. Daily for channel subscriber counts. Monthly earnings recomputed on the 1st.
Every snapshot is stored, so you can chart how any video grew - from upload to billion-view milestone and beyond.
Single-figure estimates blend 2026 RPM data with each video's category and format (Shorts vs long-form), then apply YouTube's 55% creator share.
