While I was trying to get my first few freelance jobs on Upwork, I encountered several requests to track views of YouTube videos. I decided to write one and publish on Upwork as a project.

I open sourced this recently.

This tool monitors view counts for YouTube videos and reports the results on Excel or Google Sheets documents. The user can use either video URLs or channel links to track video view counts.
