The job

What the YouTube channel stats API gives your agent

A channel's public numbers show how big it is and how long it has been at it. Your agent sends a handle, an ID or a URL and reads back the subscribers, the total views, the number of videos and the date the channel started. That is the base data for a creator list or a competitor check.

Three providers return channel data, and they take different inputs. One accepts a channel ID, a handle or a full URL. One wants the channel URL with the handle. One wants the channel ID. If you start from handles, pick the one that accepts them, or resolve the ID in a first call.

You give

a channel handle, ID or URL

https://www.youtube.com/@examplechannel

You get

  • Subscriber count
  • Total views and video count
  • Join date
  • Description and tags
  • Linked social accounts

Sample calls

The request and what comes back

Each run is one POST to /v1/runs with an endpoint id and an input. These are illustrative calls with generic values. The run's result holds the provider's own fields.

Request
{"endpointId":"scrapecreators-youtube-channel","input":{"handle":"@examplechannel"},"wait":30}
ResponseSample output
// POST /v1/runs, then read run.status and run.result
// result: accepts a channel ID, a handle or a full URL and returns subscribers, total videos and views, join date, tags and linked social accounts

Before you start

Settle these before the first run

  • Know what you hold. A handle, an ID and a URL are not interchangeable on every provider, and the endpoint page lists the one it takes.
  • Subscriber counts are rounded by YouTube. Do not compare two channels on a difference of a few hundred subscribers.
  • Pair it with the video list. The channel call gives the totals, and the videos call gives what each upload earned.

FAQ

Questions people ask
