How many videos have I watched on YouTube

This repository contains Python 3 codes which use your personal YouTube data to tell you how many videos you've watches as a function of time. Any improvement or add-on can be proposed.

1. Download your personal data

You can download it here : https://myaccount.google.com/u/0/yourdata/youtube. Then, uncompress the whole Takeout folder. The file of interest is watch-history.html, located in /Takeout/Youtube and Youtube Music/history.

Depending on your Google account language, the folders may differ a little bit.

2. Indicate your locale

In order to parse datetimes, a dictionary is needed. It should contains months in English as keys and how they are written in your language as values. An example is provided for French, but I encourage you to submit your own locales.

3. Parse the data

In a terminal, run python parse.py -i /path/to/watch_history.html -o output.txt -l locale.json

4. Plot the data

In a terminal, run python plot.py -i history.txt
