What's inside Statistical
- Statistical is a Discord bot designed to track real-time statistics for YouTube channels. It monitors subscriber counts and provides notifications whenever a channel's subscriber count updates.
Track a Discord channel using the /track command
To begin tracking a channel, use the/trackcommand. You can identify the target channel in two ways: by typing the channel name and selecting it from the autocomplete options, or by providing the specific channel ID./trackStop tracking a channel using the /untrack command
To stop tracking a channel, use the/untrackcommand. You can identify the target channel in two ways: by typing the channel's name and selecting it from the autocomplete options, or by providing the channel ID directly. Note that the autocomplete list only displays channels that are currently being tracked within your current channel context./untrack [channel_name_or_id]Configure Discord permissions for the Statistical bot
When adding the Statistical bot to a Discord server, specific permissions are required to enable its core features:
- Send Messages & Embed Links: Required to send update messages and embeds in the channel used to track YouTube channels whenever a subscriber update occurs.
- Attach Files: Required to send images of growth graphs when a user clicks the 'View growth graphs' button or executes the
/channelcommand. - Mention @everyone, @here, and All Roles: Required only if the
ping_roleoption is specified when tracking a channel. Ifping_roleis not used, this permission can be disabled and enabled later if needed.
Understand data collection for YouTube channel tracking
When tracking a YouTube channel, Statistical Labs collects the following information to provide updates and display statistics:
- Server & Channel Identifiers: The Discord server's ID and the specific YouTube channel ID provided by the user.
- YouTube Channel Metadata: The channel's ID, name, avatar, and current subscriber count.
This data is used to display information on the bot and website, and to monitor subscriber growth to trigger updates. Subscriber growth rates (subscribers/day and subscribers/second) are automatically calculated using a combination of YouTube's provided data and internal records.
Troubleshoot missing channels in /untrack autocomplete
If a channel does not appear in the/untrackautocomplete list, it likely means the channel is not currently being tracked. Verify the tracking status by using the/trackingcommand to see the list of active tracked channels. If the channel is missing from the list and you believe it should be tracked, contact support via Discord.Verify if a channel is being tracked
If you are not receiving expected tracking messages, use the/trackingcommand to verify if the channel is currently on the active tracking list. If the channel is missing from the list, contact support via Discord./trackingConfigure role pings for tracking updates
To notify a specific role whenever a tracking update is sent, use theping_roleoption within the/trackcommand to specify the desired role.
