How it works
Add a video
Paste the link. Recording starts immediately — the earlier you add it, the longer your history.
We measure every hour
View, like and comment counts are captured hourly; missed intervals are estimated transparently.
Read the patterns
Bar charts and heatmaps reveal daily rhythms, spikes after promotion, and your audience's active hours.
Why it matters
Averages hide everything interesting. A video that gains 2,400 views a day might earn most of them between 19:00 and 23:00 — knowledge you can use to time uploads, community posts and ads. Hourly data is also the honest way to measure what a promotion or collab actually did.
Frequently asked questions
Why does YouTube not show this itself?
YouTube Studio shows hourly data only for the last 48 hours and only for your own channel. ytrank archives any public video for 90 days.
What is Pulse mode?
For launches: ytrank samples the video every 5 minutes for 24 hours, so you see the first-day curve in fine detail.
Does deleting a video lose the data?
Deleting an archive removes its data permanently. Use Stop instead to pause collecting while keeping history.
