# What is working on these channels

`GET /v1/youtube/outliers`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://apihub.co.il`
- URL: `https://apihub.co.il/v1/youtube/outliers`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The videos that beat their own channel: for up to 10 channels, the recent uploads (Shorts by default) ranked by views ÷ that channel's median — so a small channel's breakout ranks above a big channel's normal day. For finding which hook shapes and formats work in a niche right now. Give the top urls to POST /v1/ai/text as media and ask for the spoken first 3 seconds verbatim, the on-screen text and the pattern of cuts — that is the hook and the structure. Then POST /v1/ai/hooks with your own idea to write your version.

**Billing:** Read request (about 3 of the daily quota units per channel) · **Rate limit:** 20/min

## Query parameters

- `min_multiple` number: Leave out videos under this multiple of their channel's median

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string
- `X-Tag` string
