BASIC IDEA: Create scripts and setup a "chron job" to extract data once a day from YouTube API for a list of videos. Store the video data into MySQL database.
SOME DETAILS:
1. The data I need for each video is all accessible via YouTube API ( [login to view URL])
2. Each day, the chron job scripts would get the latest data (e.g., #playbacks for each video) and also calculate the difference from the day before.
3. I need to be able to add/remove URLs from the list of YouTube video URLs (e.g., [login to view URL]) to get data for.
4. I need to be able to set the time of day for the chron job to run.
5. You need to setup the database, too.
6. My hosting provider is [login to view URL] (has MySQL and supports chron jobs")
7. Some additional, minor details, too.
