YouTube Comment Sentiment Dashboard
A dashboard that scores a YouTube comment thread with VADER, a lexicon-based sentiment scorer, and shows the mix, the keyword spikes over time, and the comments behind each spike.
Problem
Reading a busy thread by hand is slow. The YouTube Data API hands comments over a page at a time under a daily quota, so the dashboard has to pull a whole thread inside that quota and score it fast enough to answer a browser request.
Context
- lexicon, no training data
- VADER
