YT Insight

A small, fast toolkit for YouTube creators — pull video tags, grab HD thumbnails, check any channel's stats, resolve IDs from any URL, and browse what's trending right now.

Setup needed: this file must be served through PHP (e.g. as index.html renamed appropriately, or hosted alongside api.php on a PHP server) so it can reach api.php. Also add your Firebase config near the bottom of this file. See comments marked // TODO.
