You're still promoting an expired discount code (not anymore with this FREE tool)
If you're running promo codes across YouTube videos and web pages, chances are at least one of them has already expired and nobody caught it. A viewer types in a dead code, gets frustrated, and you lose a conversion you didn't even know you were losing. This build fixes that problem for good.
What This Tool Does
The Affiliate Code Expiry Tracker scans any YouTube channel and website for a specific promo code, then shows you exactly where that code lives, which video or page it's on, and how many days are left before it expires. Instead of manually checking old videos and landing pages, you get one clean list of everywhere that code appears.
Why It Matters
If you manage sponsorships, affiliate codes, or discounts across multiple platforms, dead codes are a silent revenue leak. Nobody tells you when a code has expired, viewers just quietly bounce. This tool puts the problem in front of you before your audience finds it first.
How the Build Works
You feed the tool a code to search for along with a YouTube Data API key, which is free to set up. It pulls every matching video and URL into a single results list. From there, you add entries to a tracker with a campaign name and expiration date, and the tool automatically:
- Calculates days remaining on each code
- Flags the status as active, expiring soon, or expired
- Lets you filter results by status
- Exports everything to CSV for easy sharing or record-keeping
The tool was built in Python using Cursor, and the workflow keeps things simple: search, track, filter, export. No manual spreadsheet wrangling, no digging through old video descriptions one by one.
