Spike
Watches a rival's YouTube channel and pings you when a new upload crosses your view line.
Spike watches YouTube channels you pick and fires the instant a new upload crosses a view threshold you set, usually within 20 minutes of the line and same-hour nine times out of ten. Alerts land in a dashboard or as a signed webhook (HMAC, retries, delivery log) into n8n, Discord or your own agent stack. It only tracks channels you add — there's no site-wide search — and the maker is upfront that the timing is a median, not an SLA.
What holds up
- +Median delivery is ~7 minutes after the threshold hits, 20 minutes for the slowest tenth.
- +Webhook is signed with HMAC and comes with retries and a delivery log, not a bare POST.
- +You pick the channels and the threshold — no noisy feed of everything trending.
Mind the limits
- −Only tracks channels you explicitly add — it won't surface rivals you haven't listed yet.
- −Maker states timing is a median from watched hits, not a guaranteed SLA.
