Ideal for agents that need to enumerate channel videos, search within a channel, or retrieve channel metadata on a pay-per-call basis with no subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent channel_id returns empty results or error
- Unsupported tab/sort combination returns an error or defaults silently
- next_page_token mismatch or expiry causes pagination failure
- Rate limits or scraping blocks from YouTube may cause intermittent failures
- Invalid country/language codes may fall back to defaults without warning

## How this service works

YouTube Channel: Video titles, links, thumbnails and more. Structured JSON, USD 0.05 per call in USDC — no API key, no account, no subscription, no minimum.
