How this service works
YouTube (yt) data and scraping API: Search videos, channels, and playlists; fetch video details, comments, shorts, live streams, and trending. 15 REST endpoints from $0.005 per call — no account, no OAuth, no subscription. Pay with x402 (USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana) or prepaid credits.
Output
Returns structured channel metadata for the given YouTube channel path, including channel ID, name, description, subscriber count, video count, and related channel identifiers — all without requiring OAuth or a Google API key.
Example use cases
Creator research for brand partnerships
“I'm vetting a YouTube creator for a sponsorship deal — can you pull the channel stats and description for @LinusTechTips so I can see their subscriber count and what the channel is about?”
Competitor channel monitoring
“I want to keep tabs on a competitor's YouTube channel — fetch all the metadata for the channel at handle @veritasium so I can track their info over time.”
Aggregating creator data for a dashboard
“I'm building a dashboard of top science YouTubers — can you fetch the channel info for @kurzgesagt so I can pull in their subscriber count and channel description?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://youtube.fetcher.sh/api/channel/pathWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need YouTube channel metadata without setting up OAuth, managing Google API quotas, or maintaining a subscription. Ideal for agents that need occasional, pay-per-use channel lookups in USDC with no API key management overhead. Prefer over the official YouTube Data API when quota limits are a concern or when operating in an autonomous agent context where credential management is impractical.
Side effects
- Channel path not found (404) — the handle or path does not map to an existing YouTube channel
- Rate limit or payment failure — USDC payment via x402 not processed, request rejected
- Invalid path format — malformed channel handle or slug
- Channel is private or terminated — data not publicly accessible
- Scraping block — YouTube temporarily blocks the scraping layer, returning empty or stale data
