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 data about the specified YouTube Short including title, creator/channel name, view count, like count, comment count, video duration, posting date, and a link to the video — all extracted directly from YouTube without requiring OAuth or a YouTube API key.
Example use cases
Viral Short performance check
“Look up the stats for YouTube Short dQw4w9WgXcQ — I want to know the view count, likes, and who posted it.”
Competitor content research
“Grab the metadata for this YouTube Short (ID: abc123XYZ) — I need the title, creator handle, and engagement numbers to compare it against our own content.”
Content moderation triage
“Fetch the details for YouTube Shorts video ID xyz789abc — I need the title, description, and creator info to review it for our brand safety report.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://fetcher.sh/api/youtube/shorts/%7Bid%7DWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need YouTube Shorts-specific metadata without setting up a YouTube Data API key or OAuth flow. It is ideal for AI agents that need lightweight, pay-per-use access to Shorts data without managing subscriptions or quotas. Prefer this over the official YouTube API when you want frictionless per-call billing in USDC on Base, or when you need data about Shorts specifically rather than general YouTube videos.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent video ID returns an error or empty result
- Video has been deleted or made private, resulting in a not-found response
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in quick succession
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.005 per-call fee
- YouTube page structure changes may cause temporary scraping failures
