Quick start

How to look up a YouTube channel

Paste a public channel, get live stats and recent uploads.

  1. Step 1

    Paste a channel

    Use a YouTube channel URL, @handle, or channel ID — not a single video link.

  2. Step 2

    Run the lookup

    We load the public channel and a page of recent uploads.

  3. Step 3

    Read public stats

    Subscribers, total views, video count, bio, and recent uploads.

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.

01

Subscriber + view totals

Public aggregate metrics from the channel. Useful for a quick size check before a deeper audit.

02

Recent uploads

A short list of latest public videos with titles, views, and publish timing when YouTube exposes them.

03

Bio and branding

Channel description and identity fields from the public page.

Free tool

Good for spot checks, not pipelines

Built for a quick check on one channel.

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 YouTube API key?

No. This free tool uses Social Fetch's production channel endpoint. Sign up for an API key when you need higher volume or automation.

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?

This free page is for spot checks. Bulk screening needs an API key.

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. This page is for one-off browser checks.

Need more than a spot check?

Sign up for 100 free API credits, then call these tools from your own code — no browser Turnstile in the way.
