YouTube
Channel / Profile
Resolves a channel handle (`NASA`, `@NASA`) or a channel link (`youtube.com/@NASA`, `/c/`, `/user/`) into a full channel record with title, description, country, creation date, banner and avatar art, verification badge and subscriber, video and total-view counts. Raw `UC…` channel IDs are not accepted — pass the handle instead. The base layer for channel monitoring and creator databases.
What you get
Each call returns one channel record. There is no pagination.

Parameters
The YouTube handle, URL or identifier to resolve.
Maximum records to return, capped at this service's page size (see Limits below). Omit it to receive the whole page. It shapes the response, not the price — a call costs the same either way.
Pagination cursor returned by a previous response.
Bypass cached data and force a live fetch for this one call. Use it for daily monitoring or any figure you are tracking over time. Accepts `true`, `1`, `false` or `0`; anything else returns 400 `invalid_fresh`. Defaults to false and costs exactly the same as a cached call.
One of: true, 1, false, 0
Example request
Live call. Successful calls are charged; failed and empty results are not.

}Limits
- Maximum per call: 1 channels.
- Minimum per call: 1 channel — a target with less data returns fewer channels, and an empty result is still a successful call.
- Each call fetches a full page of up to 1 and costs the same either way. Pass limit to receive fewer than that in the response.
- This endpoint returns a single record per call and is not paginated.
What this costs in practice
10,000 channels = 10,000 calls × 1 credits per call = 10,000 credits = $0.00
Priced at the Custom pack rate: 1,000,000 credits for $0.00.
