I need a script that I can introduce videos URL so I am able to see

  • Video Status (Published/Deleted)
  • Views
  • Likes
  • Dislikes
  • Number of comments
And with the possibility to send me alert via email when a video is deleted.. (optional)

Is there any script like that on the market? and which price should've been asking?

I am not sure if there is, but for sure it can be made to scrape YT mobile version for older browsers, or without JS enabled.
* Maybe I am wrong I know some things were changed.

For checking, if the video is deleted you can write cron job once per day/week, and I wouldn't go to video page to check that,
I would check the thumbnail image. If there is no thumbnail image for the video, then it's deleted.

This for sure can be written if there is no such tool on the market.

For updating video count, comment count, etc, It's necessary to visit the video page, so for that action recommended is that has bigger delay aka once in a month or similar.

Of course, if you have 1000 videos this is a quick script under 15 mins, but if you are planning to check 10k, 100k videos then this can be a time-consuming task even with the best optimization in mind. (time for the script to finish it's job)

Nice, so this is a simple script to make

I only want it to check few vids. like 20 or 50 and update every like 5 hours

So how much would it cost a simple script like this?
