Information and Frequently Asked Questions

What is this?

This is PhaseTracker. It tracks the YouTube subscriber count for members of the VTuber group Phase Connect. It is also the primary demo of my boilerplate project, NijiTrack which allows you to setup a subscriber tracker for any subset of YouTube channels (or VTuber organization).

Affiliation

This project is not affiliated with Phase Connect or any of its members. It is also not affiliated with any other VTuber related subscriber tracker (although partially inspired by them).

What's Collected?

Some statitics such as video count or channel view count are provided for your convenience. These are generated hourly and are not saved historically

Only subscriber count, channel name, profile picture is saved historically.

How often?

The data in the tables will update every hour. Historical data is recorded once a day at 12:00 AM PST. This number will then become the next point in the graph.

Graduation

If someone graduates (no longer active in Phase Connect), their data will be kept in the database but will no longer be updated. The main table will also no longer show a row for them. You'll still be able to view their data on the main graph on the homepage.

Why are there so few datapoints before April 1st 2022?

This project only started collecting data on April 1st, 2022. Any data before that was manually recovered by me through Wayback Machine and various other sources.

I've done this mostly for appearence sake, so that the graphs can start from the roughly the beginning of the channel's creation.

This new channel's data point doesn't start at 0

Data is collected hourly. Only "verifiable" datapoints are recorded, it's hard to catch a channel at exactly 0 subsribers. When a new channel debuts, it'll also take some time for the system to notice that they are a part of Phase Connect.

Tech Stack?

Next, Python, and PostgreSQL. The big graph on the homepage is pre-rendered with Plotly, other graphs are made using CanvasJS

Can I get the data somehow?

I'll have a way for people to either grab a periodic database dump or CSV of the data soon. Please wait a bit longer.
