Does this YouTube trends tool send my API key to LoopIn?

No. The API key is saved only in the local storage of the browser you choose and is used for direct browser requests to the YouTube Data API. It is not submitted to a LoopIn server.

What is the difference between official charts, fresh discovery, and live discovery?

Official charts use the YouTube Data API mostPopular chart for the selected country and category. Fresh discovery uses a public keyword search with relevance, views, or newest ordering. Live discovery finds active public broadcasts. Only the chart is an official YouTube chart; the discovery modes are research results, not platform rankings.

How should I protect my YouTube API key?

Restrict the key in Google Cloud to YouTube Data API v3 and add the allowed HTTP referrers https://helloseo24.com/* and https://www.helloseo24.com/*. Never share an unrestricted key.

USE THE DATA WELL

A cleaner way to research video demand

Start with the right source

Use Market pulse for YouTube's official most-popular chart in a selected country. Use Fresh and fast or Live now to research public candidates, never as an official trend ranking.

Measure a change you observed

Save a local checkpoint after a useful lookup. Return to the exact same query later to see raw view, like, comment, and chart-position changes without inventing a one-shot momentum score.

Keep the key and data controlled

Use a dedicated browser key restricted to YouTube Data API v3 and this site's referrer. Local checkpoints expire after 30 days and can be removed at any time.

YouTube research tool FAQ

Is this a real-time YouTube trend rank?

No. Market pulse is the official regional most-popular chart returned by the YouTube Data API. Fresh and fast and Live now are clearly labelled public discovery results, not a platform-wide trend ranking.

Why is Google Trends not mixed into this score?

Google search interest is not the same thing as YouTube platform demand, and the official Google Trends API is not broadly available. This tool keeps its YouTube research sources separate instead of combining unlike signals into a misleading score.

What does a checkpoint prove?

It compares the raw public counts in two manual samples of the exact same query. A first lookup has no prior sample, so the page does not manufacture a growth claim. Local checkpoints expire after 30 days.

How does the length filter work?

Under 4 minutes, 4 to 20 minutes, and more than 20 minutes use the duration returned by the public API. YouTube does not publish a reliable Shorts flag, so this page never labels a result as a verified Short.

How is derived engagement shown?

It is a transparent local ratio of public likes plus public comments divided by public views. It is labelled as derived and is not a YouTube-published engagement metric or a prediction.

Why does the selected country not guarantee a local creator or audience?

For discovery, YouTube's region setting returns videos that can be viewed in the selected country. It does not prove that a creator is local or that the audience lives there. Language is only a relevance preference, not a strict language filter.
