Pay with x402 (USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana) or prepaid credits.

Technical details
Endpoint
DELETEhttps://youtube.fetcher.sh/api/channel/handle/%7Bhandle%7DWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need YouTube channel data by handle without setting up a Google Cloud project, obtaining OAuth credentials, or managing API quotas. Ideal for agents that need on-demand, pay-per-call access to channel metadata with no subscription overhead. Prefer this over the official YouTube Data API when simplicity and crypto micropayment billing (USDC via x402) are preferred, or when you need to avoid Google account dependencies.
Side effects
- Handle not found — channel does not exist or handle is misspelled (404)
- Handle format incorrect — must include or exclude @ prefix as expected by the API
- Rate limits or payment failure — insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment rejected
- YouTube scraping disruption — temporary unavailability if YouTube changes its structure
- Private or terminated channels may return empty or error responses
