How this service works

Output
Returns a JSON object with the channel's YouTube ID, display name, handle, truncated description, rounded subscriber text (e.g. '44.7 million subscribers'), exact video count, source URL, and the timestamp when the data was checked.

Endpoint
GEThttps://api.fadeandco.workers.dev/api/dev/youtube-channel?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need quick public YouTube channel metadata (subscriber count, video count, channel ID) by handle without requiring a YouTube Data API key or quota. Prefer it for lightweight lookups of public channel stats. Not suitable for per-video statistics, private channels, or exact subscriber counts.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent handle returns an error or empty result
- YouTube page structure changes may break scraping
- Description is truncated by YouTube to preview length
- Subscriber count is rounded as YouTube displays it, not exact
- Rate limiting or blocking from YouTube may cause failures
