How this service works
fetcher.sh is an x402 web-data and scraping API: 111 endpoints for Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Google, App Store, and Yelp — paid per call in USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana, or with prepaid credits. Built for AI agents: no accounts, no OAuth, no subscriptions.
Output
Returns structured public metadata for the specified YouTube channel, including the channel's display name, unique channel ID, subscriber count, total video count, and channel description — drawn directly from the YouTube public profile associated with the given @handle.
Example use cases
Competitor creator research
“Look up the YouTube channel info for @veritasium — I want to know their subscriber count and how many videos they've posted so I can compare them to other science channels.”
Validate influencer before partnership
“Can you fetch the public profile for the YouTube channel @mkbhd and tell me their subscriber count and channel description? I need to verify their reach before we reach out for a sponsorship.”
Enrich creator database
“I have a list of YouTube handles for fitness creators — start with @athleanx and get me their channel ID, subscriber count, and description so I can add it to our database.”
