Inspiration

The demographic for people writing structured reviews is very specifically people with strong opinions. This provides a way to get a general idea of people's thoughts on a company, product, or idea.

What it does

It scrapes YouTube for comments on the first few videos about a certain topic. It then runs a sentimental analysis on the comments and returns a score between -1 and 1, where -1 is a very negative general tone about the product/company/idea and +1 is very positive.

How I built it

We used Google's YouTube API to query and extract comment data from videos. The comments are then processed using sentiment analysis to determine their 'score' representing how positive or negative each comment is.

What's next for Youtube Comment Analyzer

We plan to extend to platforms beyond YouTube, to other video sharing platforms or social media. We also are planning on implementing a more presentable and functional front end, including graphs, etc. We would like to possibly integrating with "Power Reviews," and other review aggregating services which collect reviews from various sources and present them on a single platform.
