At kpopping, we leverage the API services provided by third parties to track the social data from our favorite idols and groups. These third-party services include YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google, and TikTok. We rely on publicly available data from these API services to monitor follower/subscriber counts and track music video views on YouTube.

Once a YouTube video link is added and approved by our moderators, we utilize YouTube's API Client to track the daily view counts. Similarly, when a YouTube channel is linked to an artist's profile page and approved by moderators, we can monitor the daily changes in subscriber numbers using the same approach.

We only gather PUBLIC data. Nothing private is gathered about any account through our API services.
