Get pinged when a rival goes viral.

In time to copy the topic onYouTube

Watch a YouTube channel and set a view threshold. When a new upload crosses it in the first hour, it lands in your dashboard — usually within 20 minutes of the line. Or we POST a signed webhook into n8n, Discord, or your own stack.

From channel to ping

Know what people upload. See what is already working.

Add a rival, set a view line, see the hit — usually within 20 minutes of the threshold. Pipe the same hit into n8n, Discord, or your own stack.

01

Add the rival channel.

Paste a YouTube URL, @handle, or channel id. We resolve it. You pick the list — we do not search the whole site.

youtube.com/@MrBeast
URLhandlechannel id
MrBeast@MrBeast · resolved
02

We watch it around the clock.

The tracker keeps polling that channel. You set one view line — for example 3,000 views in the first hour.

Watching new uploads

3,280views

3,000 in 1h

03

We ping you when it prints.

When the tracker sees the upload over your line, it lands in Events — and we can POST a signed webhook: HMAC, retries, a delivery log.

Our tracker, Sept 2026. Channels already on the watchlist, with a view sample below the line. Not a guarantee.

Spike for agents

The tracker watches YouTube.
You only hear what matters.

Connect Spike to n8n, Discord, ChatGPT, Claude, or any agent that can take a POST. When a watched upload crosses your view line, the signed webhook lands in your stack — HMAC, retries, a delivery log.

Add a webhookExplore API & docs

For developers

A thin API. A loud webhook.

Create watches, read events, rotate a key. When a threshold fires we retry, log the HTTP status, and sign the body with your endpoint secret.

curl -X POST $HOST/api/v1/watches \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer spk_live_…" \

Why creators use Spike

Built for people who react, not browse.

Same product on every page: watch channels, set a view line, get a signed webhook. These pages are for the desk you actually run.

Strategy

Know the hour a rival video takes off.

Watch the channels you already compete with. When a new upload crosses your threshold, you get the ping — not a digest tomorrow.

Desks

Copy the idea while it’s still in the first hour.

A threshold hit is a topic that already proved demand. Intercept it before the niche is flooded.

Faceless

Get pinged when a format in your niche starts printing.

Compilation, narration, stock — the channels on your list are the research. A spike is the format to clone this week.

News

React before the topic is everywhere.

Commentary and news desks need the same-day take. A threshold hit on a source channel is your cue to film “on that.”

Agencies

One feed of breakouts across every channel you manage.

Thirty to a hundred competitor channels. One webhook into Discord. The desk sees what is printing without opening YouTube.

Offers

When a review explodes, run the same offer.

Watch the review and “what I bought” channels in your vertical. A spike means demand is live — film or pour budget on that product.

Developers

A signed POST when a watched upload prints.

n8n, Discord, your bot. CRUD watches over the API. HMAC, retries, a delivery log — you keep the automation.

Pay for channels. Not for pings.

Monthly subscription. Trial first. Limits are channel counts, never a fee per webhook.

Trial: 3 channels for 7 days, full webhook. No credit card. No commitment.

Know before you watch.

A new upload on a watched channel reaches your view count inside the time window you set (for example 3,000 views within 1 hour of publish).

After a watched upload crosses your view line, the hit is usually in Events within 20 minutes. Median on our tracker is about 7 minutes (Sept 2026), on channels we were already polling. That clock starts at the threshold, not at publish. It is not an SLA.

No. You do not bring keys. The tracker already runs 24/7. You add a channel and a threshold. A webhook is optional.

By how many channels you watch, not by how many webhooks we send. Plans start at $9 / 5 channels.

Yes. 3 channels, 7 days, live signed POST. The trial is temporary and may go away later.

No. The dashboard works on its own — Events, Analytics, and your watches. Webhooks and the API are there if you want the ping in Discord, n8n, or your own stack.

Not as a native app in v1. You can still read every hit in the dashboard with no code. To get Discord or Telegram today, point a webhook at n8n, Make, or a small bot. Native chat apps come later.
