Minimum total views a video must have to be considered. Default: 10000. Lower to 5000 to catch channels even earlier.
Minimum average daily views (total views divided by days since publish). Default: 500. This is the primary velocity filter. Raise it to find only truly fast-growing content.

Channels with more total videos than this are excluded. Default: 50. Keeps results focused on newer, less established creators.
Minimum engagement rate: (likes + comments) / views x 100. Default: 0.5%. Raise to 1-2% to find only highly engaged audiences.
Channels older than this many days are excluded. Default: 365 (1 year). Set to 180 to find channels created in the last 6 months only.
Maximum number of emerging channels in the output dataset. Default: 50. Range: 1-200. One result per channel: only the best-performing video per channel is kept.
🆓 Free plan: capped at 3 regardless of this value.

Score formula: 40% views/day + 25% engagement + 15% small-channel bonus + 10% new-channel bonus + 10% video freshness.
