OqeeAdWatch

OqeeAdWatch is a small watcher that periodically polls the Oqee anti-adskipping API and records every detected ad break in a local SQLite database.

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/NohamR/OqeeAdWatch && cd OqeeAdWatch
uv sync

Add the debug tooling (Pylint) when needed:

uv sync --group debug

uv run main.py

The script will start a collection cycle immediately, iterate over every eligible channel, then sleep for 30 minutes before repeating. Use CTRL+C to exit cleanly.

Database layout

The database lives next to the script and contains a single ads table:

column	type	notes
channel_id	TEXT	Oqee channel identifier
start_ts	INTEGER	UNIX timestamp for the start of ad
end_ts	INTEGER	UNIX timestamp for the end of ad
ad_date	TEXT	Convenience YYYY-MM-DD string

The primary key (channel_id, start_ts, end_ts) prevents duplicates when the API returns the same break multiple times.

Visualizing collected ads

The visualizer/main.py script analyzes and visualizes ad data from the database:

# Process all channels (default)
uv run ./visualizer/main.py

# Process a specific channel
uv run ./visualizer/main.py <channel-id>

# Filter by date range
uv run ./visualizer/main.py --start-date 2025-11-28 --end-date 2025-12-21

Single channel with date filter

uv run ./visualizer/main.py --start-date 2025-11-28

**Single channel mode** displays:
- Totals, min/max dates, longest breaks, and a per-day breakdown
- A 24h profile (bars = average ad minutes per day, line = average break count)
- A minute-vs-hour heatmap showing ad coverage

**All channels mode** generates additional visualizations saved to `visualizer_output/`:
- Combined hourly profile and heatmap for each channel
- Weekday analysis per channel (ad breaks by day of week, weekday×hour heatmap)
- Weekly ad patterns overview across all channels
- **Channel rankings** comparing all channels by:
  - Total number of ads
  - Total ad duration
  - Longest single ad break

Add `--no-plot` if you only want the textual summary.

> **Note:** Ad breaks longer than 30 minutes are automatically filtered out as they are likely errors.

### Webhook heartbeat

OqeeAdWatch can send a heartbeat notification every 24 hours to confirm the scraper is still running. To enable it:

1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`
2. Set `WEBHOOK_URL` to your webhook endpoint (Discord, Slack, etc.)
