How this service works
Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a count field and an items array where each item includes the video ID, URL, title, channel ID, channel URL, channel name, and thumbnail URL. When includeVideoDetails is true, items also include full description, exact publication date, current view count, likes, comment count, and subscriber count.
Example use cases
Channel video inventory export
“Grab all the videos from the YouTube channel at youtube.com/c/MkBHD — up to 100 videos — and return me a list with each video's title, URL, and thumbnail URL.”
Competitor YouTube research
“Search YouTube for 'cold brew coffee tutorial' and 'french press guide', get up to 20 results each, and include full details like view counts, likes, and publish dates so I can see which content is performing best.”
Playlist content extraction
“Pull structured data from this YouTube playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbpi6ZahtOH6Ar_3GPy3workzN3PX7 — I need the title, channel name, and video URL for every video in it, capped at 50 items total.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.186-241-26-229.sslip.io/v1/youtube?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured YouTube metadata at scale without managing YouTube API quotas or OAuth credentials. It is ideal for agent workflows that require pay-only-on-success pricing, support USDC micropayments via x402, and need to scrape channels, playlists, search results, or individual videos without a Google API key.
Side effects
- Empty or private YouTube URLs return no items and are not charged
- Invalid or malformed URLs may return an empty items array
- Rate limits or YouTube blocking may cause partial results
- Network timeouts on large playlists may truncate results
- Search queries with no matching videos return empty items array
