+# [NijiTrack](https://nijitracker.com/)
+NijiTrack is a set of Python scripts that allows for the visualization and collection of historical subscriber count data for any set of YouTube Channels.
+
+### Dependencies
+- MariaDB or MySQL
+- Python 3.11+
+- Flask 2.1.2+ (Optional)
+
+```python
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+### Usage
+a. Fill in `config.json` with required info for API keys and SQL connection info
+#### For collection using a set of channels belonging to a Virtual YouTuber organization listed on Holodex
+1. Edit main.py and edit `HOLODEX_ORG` to the organization name on Holodex and `ORG_MEMBER_COUNT` to the number of members that organization has
+  - Overshooting the member count may lead to additional loop iterations, but in general there will be no problems
+```
+HOLODEX_ORG = "Phase%20Connect"
+ORG_MEMBER_COUNT = 75
+```
+2. Add channels to be excluded from data collection in `data/excluded_channel.txt`
+3. Execute with `python main.py`
+#### For collection using a custom set of channels configured in `data/channels.txt`
+1. Configure channels in data/channels.txt in the format `YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID,CHANNEL_NAME` for each line
+2. Execute with `python main.py ytapi`
+
+An `index.html` is created in your root directory and channel individual pages is created in `stats/*`
+You can use `app.py` to host your statics through Flask or use any other services
