YouTube channel parser - TrendWatching - integration Make + Apify
67 USD It is necessary to set up the TrendWatching system: regularly or manually upon launch to collect new videos/posts from selected YouTube channels and Instagram accounts, and record the result in Google Sheets in the specified format.
2) Goal / Result
We add links to the channels/accounts we want to monitor.
We run the script:
manual launch (button in Make)
or automatically once a week
As a result, we get an updated Google Sheets table with a list of content and metrics. (details in the table)
Filter: content no older than 90 days
First “historical” export: up to 100 content items from each channel (YouTube; for Instagram - agreed similarly “up to 100”, or “last N content”)
3) Sources / Platforms
YouTube:
Channels (channel URL or handle)
Need to collect: list of videos, dates, links, metrics. (short to be separated or marked)
Instagram:
Accounts (profile URL)
Need to collect: Reels + Posts (minimum Reels; preferably both), dates, links, metrics.
4) Where to write the result
Google Sheets (I will provide access). Here is a file with an example of how it should look in the output
Table (working): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZhbD6EHgPQXglhhpjuPCNCsyYsmj1Zd0PZM2wPYG_sc/edit?usp=sharing
There are test developments (Make + API/Apify), it needs to be brought to a working stable solution, there is no time to implement it independently. I used this apify https://apify.com/streamers/youtube-channel-scraper
if there are clarifying questions, feel free to ask, I will respond
I am looking for a person for ongoing collaboration on similar tasks, automation on make + AI, etc. so after this task, if everything goes well, there will be others.

Good day!
I have practical experience in building TrendWatching systems using Make + Apify + Google Sheets, including for YouTube and Instagram. I work not with "demo scenarios," but with stable solutions that can be scaled and handed over to the team.
How I see the implementation of the task:
1. Solution architecture
Make — orchestration of scenarios (manual + scheduled).
… Apify — parsing YouTube and Instagram (through verified actors).
Google Sheets — final storage with a clear column structure.
Filtering and deduplication logic — at the Make level.
2. YouTube
Support for channel URL / handle.
Collection:
video title;
publication date;
link;
views, likes, comments;
content type (Shorts are marked separately).
Filter:
no older than 90 days;
first historical export — up to 100 videos from the channel.
3. Instagram
Collection of Reels + Posts (minimum Reels).
Data:
date;
link;
likes, comments, views (where available).
First export — up to 100 content items / or the last N (to be agreed upon).
Preparation for possible Instagram limitations (fallback logic).
4. Google Sheets
Recording in the specified format (according to your template).
No duplicates.
Updates:
manual launch by button;
automatically once a week.
Careful work with API limits.
5. Result
Fully functional scenario.
Comments in Make (to clarify what and where to change).
Test run + data verification in the table.
Cost
Fixed price for the task: 12,000 UAH
The price includes:
• refinement of existing developments
• stabilization of the scenario
• integration with Google Sheets
• testing
Further refinements / new sources — separately by agreement.
Terms
5–7 working days, depending on:
the number of channels/accounts;
selected Apify actors;
Instagram limitations.
Long-term
Open to ongoing collaboration:
automation on Make;
integration with AI (content classification, tagging, scoring);
expanding TrendWatching to other platforms.
Ready to quickly get involved, review your test scenarios, and propose the optimal final architecture.

Hello, Maxim!
I am in 2nd place on the platform and specialize in developing chatbots and automating business processes. I work with services like n8n/Make.com.
Just the other day, I implemented automation for parsing YouTube/Instagram/TikTok, where we collect all possible metrics for videos and record them in Google Sheets.
I will tell you more and show you in private messages.
You can familiarize yourself with similar works in my portfolio:

Hello! I have extensive experience in building automated data collection systems (scraping) and their synchronization through Make. Your task is completely clear to me, and I am ready to bring your developments to a stable result.
How I will implement this project:
Reliable scraping: I will fine-tune the integration with Apify for YouTube and Instagram. This will ensure stable uploads even of large amounts of content (up to 100 items) without the risk of blocks.
Flexible filtering logic: I will set up an automatic "90 days" filter and content tagging (separating YouTube Shorts from regular videos).
Working with Google Sheets: I will configure the system so that the table not only gets filled but also correctly updates metrics (likes, views) for already existing entries, avoiding duplicates.
…
Scalability: Since you are looking for a long-term person, I will build the script architecturally correctly so that in the future it will be easy to add new platforms (TikTok, Twitter, etc.) or connect AI for analyzing the collected content.
Experience:
I have developed lead and content collection systems from various sources through Make/n8n.
I have worked with the APIs of most popular platforms and scraping tools (Apify).
I can integrate AI (GPT-4) for classifying and summarizing the collected data (which could be the next step for your TrendWatching).

Good day
I am engaged in automations through the service Make.com
I can refine your already developed solution or create a new one according to your requirements.
Implement a scenario that will automatically go through the specified YouTube channels and Instagram accounts at the scheduled time (or upon manual launch) and input data for the last 90 days or however many you specify regarding the necessary metrics, and automatically mark whether it is a Video or Shorts. If the video or shorts are new, record them in a new row and calculate all metrics; if existing, update all metrics to the date of the scenario launch, without duplicating entries.
I will also create logic for two scenarios to ensure there is enough time to process all data across all channels and prevent the scenario from encountering an error.

Доброго дня, ютуб канали і акаунти інстаграм будуть запускатись одні і ті ж заново, і + нові додаватись, чи тільки нові будуть додаватись в таблицю по яким треба провести дослідження?
-
Просто саму систему не важко налаштувати, але підібрати правильний скрейпер на apify, щоб враховувати всі ваші вимоги, чи будуть перзапуски наприклад через тиждень по вже запущеним раніше каналам і тут вам може видати 90 відео з яких 5 буде нових, і 85 що вже в таблиці, тільки метрики хіба оновити по них, цю логіку теж треба враховувати)
