Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Identify high-performing videos from adjacent business niches to extract transferable content patterns, hooks, and structures. These outliers provide inspiration for content ideation without being directly competitive.
# Default: 1 query = 5 credits, ~100 outliers from last 30 days
python3 ./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_tubelab.py
# Custom search term
python3 ./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_tubelab.py --terms "business strategy"
# Skip transcripts (faster, cheaper)
python3 ./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_tubelab.py --skip_transcripts
Pros: Pre-calculated scores, no rate limiting, fast Cons: 5 credits per query
python3 ./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_outliers.py
Use only if TubeLab credits are exhausted. Often fails due to rate limiting.
./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_tubelab.py - TubeLab API (recommended)./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_outliers.py - yt-dlp direct scraping./scripts/generate_title_variants.py - Generate title variants for outliersModifiers applied to base score:
For each outlier, generates 3 title variants adapted to your niche.

--- name: cross-niche-outliers description: Find viral YouTube videos from adjacent business niches to extract content patterns and hooks. Use when user asks to find content inspiration, YouTube outliers, viral video patterns, or cross-niche content ideas. --- # Cross-Niche Outlier Detection ## Goal Identify high-performing videos from adjacent business niches to extract transferable content patterns, hooks, and structures. These outliers provide inspiration for content ideation without being directly competitive. ## Two Approaches ### 1. TubeLab API (RECOMMENDED) ```bash # Default: 1 query = 5 credits, ~100 outliers from last 30 days python3 ./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_tubelab.py # Custom search term python3 ./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_tubelab.py --terms "business strategy" # Skip transcripts (faster, cheaper) python3 ./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_tubelab.py --skip_transcripts ``` **Pros:** Pre-calculated scores, no rate limiting, fast **Cons:** 5 credits per query ### 2. yt-dlp Scraping (LEGACY) ```bash python3 ./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_outliers.py ``` **Use only if TubeLab credits are exhausted.** Often fails due to rate limiting. ## Scripts - `./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_tubelab.py` - TubeLab API (recommended) - `./scripts/scrape_cross_niche_outliers.py` - yt-dlp direct scraping - `./scripts/generate_title_variants.py` - Generate title variants for outliers ## Process ### 1. Video Discovery - Search keywords (50 videos per keyword) - Monitor business channels (15 videos per channel) - Deduplicate and filter noise ### 2. Outlier Scoring - Base score: video views / channel average views - Recency boost: <1 day = 2x, <3 days = 1.5x, <7 days = 1.2x - Threshold: 1.1x or higher (10% above average) ### 3. Cross-Niche Scoring Modifiers applied to base score: - -20% per technical term (API, Python, code, SDK) - +30% for money hooks ($, revenue, income, profit) - +20% for time hooks (faster, productivity) - +20% for curiosity gaps (?, "this changed everything") - +10% for listicles (numbers in title) ### 4. Transcript & Summary - Fetches transcript (youtube-transcript-api, Apify fallback) - Claude summarizes: hook, structure, how to adapt - Raw transcript saved for deeper analysis ### 5. Title Variant Generation For each outlier, generates 3 title variants adapted to your niche. ### 6. Output to Google Sheet (19 columns) Cross-Niche Score, Outlier Score, Days Old, Category, Title, Video Link, Views, Duration, Channel, Thumbnail, Summary, Title Variants 1-3, Raw Transcript, Publish Date, Source ## TubeLab Options | Flag | Description | Default | |------|-------------|---------| | `--queries N` | Number of searches (5 credits each) | 1 | | `--terms "a" "b"` | Custom search terms | entrepreneur | | `--min_views N` | Minimum views | 10,000 | | `--max_days N` | Max video age | 30 | | `--skip_transcripts` | Skip transcripts | False | ## Keyword Tiers **Tier 1: Adjacent Business/Tech** - "AI for business", "ChatGPT business use cases", "no-code automation" **Tier 2: Broad Business** - "scale your business", "solopreneur success", "founder productivity" **Tier 3: Money/Revenue Hooks** - "increase revenue", "passive income systems", "10x your income" ## Monitored Channels Alex Hormozi, My First Million, Starter Story, Colin and Samir, Ali Abdaal, Think Media, Iman Gadzhi, Pat Flynn, GaryVee, MrBeast, Justin Welsh, Charlie Morgan ## Output - Google Sheet: "Cross-Niche Outliers v2 - [timestamp]" - ~100 outliers with 19 columns - Sorted by publish date (most recent first) - 3 title variants + raw transcript per outlier ## Environment ``` TUBELAB_API_KEY=your_key ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key APIFY_API_TOKEN=your_token (optional fallback) ``` ## Workflow 1. Run weekly for ~100 outliers 2. Review by Cross-Niche Score 3. Pick outlier with good thumbnail/title 4. Use title variants as starting points 5. Recreate thumbnail with your face (see recreate-thumbnails skill) --- ## Schema ### Inputs | Name | Type | Required | Description | |------|------|----------|-------------| | `terms` | array | No | Custom search terms (default: 'entrepreneur') | | `queries` | integer | No | Number of TubeLab searches (5 credits each, default: 1) | | `min_views` | integer | No | Minimum views (default: 10,000) | | `max_days` | integer | No | Max video age in days (default: 30) | | `skip_transcripts` | boolean | No | Skip transcript fetching (faster) | ### Outputs | Name | Type | Description | |------|------|-------------| | `sheet_url` | string | Google Sheet with ~100 outliers (19 columns) | ### Credentials | Name | Source | |------|--------| | `TUBELAB_API_KEY` | .env | | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | .env | | `APIFY_API_TOKEN` | .env (optional fallback) | ### Composable With Skills that chain well with this one: `title-variants`, `recreate-thumbnails` ### Cost 5 TubeLab credits per query + Claude API
