YouTube channel

Channel profile / identity

Changed on

Fetch a channel's profile: title, @handle, verified flag, subscriber/video count text, description, keywords, tags, thumbnails, banners, and available tabs.

Use the channel parameter with an @handle, channel URL, or UC... channel ID.

Formatted counts are display strings (e.g. 27.8M subscribers) and are null when YouTube does not expose them — never 0. About-tab fields YouTube does not serve over an unauthenticated request (join date, total views, country, external links) are omitted.

Freshness: cached for 5 minutes.

Credit cost: 1 credit per request.
