Output

Example use cases
Influencer research for brand partnership
“I'm vetting a YouTube creator for a sponsorship deal — can you look up the channel 'Linus Tech Tips' and tell me their subscriber count, total views, and any other stats you can find?”
Competitor channel benchmarking
“Pull up the YouTube channel details for UCXuqSBlHAE6Xw-yeJA0Tunw so I can compare their stats against our own channel metrics.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.apidirect.io/v1/youtube/channel?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured metadata about a specific YouTube channel — especially subscriber counts, view totals, video counts, or channel descriptions. Prefer it over scraping YouTube directly or using the YouTube Data API (which requires OAuth setup) when you need a quick, pay-per-call lookup by channel ID, URL, or handle without API key management.
Side effects
- Channel not found for given ID/URL/name — returns 404 or empty result
- Invalid channel ID format (must start with UC and be 24 characters) — returns validation error
- Ambiguous channel name with multiple matches — may return wrong channel
- Private or terminated channels may return partial or no data
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion may return 429 error
