The existing youtube_stats.py had critical bugs (undefined hours_watched variable causing crashes), no error handling, and poor code structure. This PR replaces it with a production-ready app.py that properly uses YOUTUBE_API_KEY from GitHub secrets.

Architecture

6 classes with single responsibilities:

  • Config - Centralized configuration with validation
  • YouTubeAPIClient - API calls with retry logic (3 attempts, exponential backoff)
  • DataManager - CSV storage, automated backups (30-day retention), integrity checks
  • ChartGenerator - Matplotlib visualizations with proper backend configuration
  • ReadmeUpdater - Documentation sync
  • YouTubeStatsApp - Main orchestrator

Key Improvements

API Integration:

  • Reads YOUTUBE_API_KEY from environment (GitHub secrets in workflow)
  • Retry logic with 10s timeout per request
  • Handles pagination for 5000+ playlists (safety limit prevents infinite loops)
  • Enhanced error messages with HTTP codes and URLs

Reliability:

  • Data integrity checks (alerts on >50% changes)
  • Automatic backups before writes
  • Graceful degradation on non-critical failures

Code Quality:

  • Full type hints (PEP 484)
  • Comprehensive docstrings
  • 11 unit tests (100% pass rate)
  • CodeQL scan: 0 vulnerabilities

Example Usage

# Old: Procedural script with hardcoded values
API_KEY = os.getenv("YOUTUBE_API_KEY")
response = requests.get(url)  # No retry, no timeout

# New: Modular with proper error handling
client = YouTubeAPIClient(api_key, timeout=10, max_retries=3)
stats = client.get_channel_statistics(channel_id)  # Retries, validates, logs

Migration

Workflow updated to use app.py instead of youtube_stats.py. Both files can coexist; youtube_stats.py remains for backward compatibility but is superseded by this implementation.

Original prompt

revise and improve drastically the app.py then edit and fix by using the YOUTUBE_API_KEY from GitHub secrets.
