YouTube Analytics Blocked My AI Agent — BrowserAct Got It Working
curl a modern dashboard and you get gibberish — JS renderings, login walls, none of the data. Claude Code hit exactly that wall on my YouTube Analytics. BrowserAct fixed it by giving the agent a real Chrome browser session, turning the page into clean, agent-readable output: subscribers, views, watch time, estimated revenue, top videos — no manual login.
