What you get
Public channel stats without a spreadsheet
Built for quick creator checks — agency screens, competitor size, or confirming a handle before you buy.
Subscriber + view totals
Public aggregate metrics from the channel. Useful for a quick size check before a deeper audit.
Recent uploads
A short list of latest public videos with titles, views, and publish timing when YouTube exposes them.
Bio and branding
Channel description and identity fields from the public page.
Limits
What the free viewer can and can't do
Built for checking one channel at a time. Here is where the free page stops and the free account starts.
2 an hour, 6 a day
Free lookups are capped per visitor so everyone gets a turn. A free account lifts the wait: 100 credits, 50 channel lookups, no card.
Public channels only
We look up public channel pages. Video, Shorts, playlist, and search URLs are rejected at the form.
Recent page, not the archive
Free lookups return one page of latest uploads. Paginate from the API when you need more.

FAQ
YouTube channel viewer FAQ
What does the YouTube channel viewer show?
Public channel stats: subscribers, total views, video count, bio, and a page of recent uploads when available.
Do I need a Google account or a YouTube API key?
No. Paste a public channel and the lookup runs from our servers — no Google login, no YouTube Data API key, no quota to set up. A Social Fetch key only comes in when you want to run it from code.
What input formats work?
Channel URLs (youtube.com/@handle or /channel/UC...), @handles, and channel IDs. Video, Shorts, playlist, and search URLs are rejected.
Is this the same data as the paid API?
Yes. The page calls GET /v1/youtube/channel, then loads recent uploads from the channel videos endpoint. This free page adds Cloudflare Turnstile.
Why are recent videos sometimes missing?
Channel stats can succeed while the videos page fails or returns empty. Retry, or call the channel videos API with a key for retries and pagination.
How many lookups can I run for free?
2 an hour and 6 a day per visitor on this page. A free Social Fetch account comes with 100 credits — 50 channel lookups with no hourly wait — and needs no card.
Can I export or download the channel data?
Yes. Every result has Copy and Download buttons that give you the channel as JSON — the same shape the API returns — for a spreadsheet, a CRM or your own code.
Can I look up private or terminated channels?
Only public channels resolve. If YouTube does not expose the channel publicly, the lookup returns not found.
How do I estimate sponsorship rates from a channel?
Use the free YouTube sponsorship calculator on the same channel input. It prices from recent views and format CPM benchmarks.
Can I pull captions for a video on the channel?
Yes — open the free YouTube transcript tool with a watch URL, or call the transcript API at scale.
How do I screen many channels from code?
Call GET /v1/youtube/channel (and optionally /v1/youtube/channels/videos) with your API key — a list of a thousand channels is a loop, not an afternoon. This page is for one channel at a time.
How much does the YouTube channel API cost?
1 credit per completed channel lookup. Technical failures cost nothing. New accounts start with 100 free credits; see pricing for packs and plans.
100 free credits
Your next 50 lookups are free.
Create a free account for 100 credits — 50 channel lookups with no hourly wait, in the dashboard or from code. No card.
