Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

YouTube Subscription Count Scraper NodeJS Documentation

This NodeJS library scrapes the channel page of a YouTube channel without any API usage. It is developed for and tailored towards easy usage in the FreeTube rewrite but can be used with any other project as well.

Therefore, this library does not require any API keys, with the attached maximum quotas, but instead might take longer to receive the required data.

The library works as long as YouTube keeps its web page layout the same. Therefore, there is no guarantee that this library will work at all times. If this library should not work at some point, please create an issue and let me know so that I can take a look into it. Pull requests are also welcomed in this case.

Installation

npm install yt-subscription-count-scraper

Usage

const ytsubcounter = require("yt-subscription-count-scraper")

API

scrape_subscriber_count_from_channel('channelURL')

Takes a complete channel URL and returns the subscriber count as number.

ytsubcounter.scrape_subscriber_count_from_channel("https://www.youtube.com/user/YouTube").then((data) =>{
    console.log(data);
}).catch((error)=>{
    console.log(error);
});
