What is YouTube Channel API?

BrowserAct’s YouTube Channel API lets you extract structured channel data from YouTube search results through a single API request.

You provide KeyWords and optionally filter by Upload_date. BrowserAct automatically runs the workflow in the background, traverses the channel results list for that keyword, opens each channel detail page, and returns clean, ready-to-use channel data directly via API.

This tool is designed for creator discovery, influencer sourcing, competitive landscape mapping, and channel database building.

What data can you get through YouTube Channel API?

The API extracts structured fields from each channel page, including:

channel_title: Channel name displayed on YouTube
channel_link: Channel page URL
verified: Whether the channel is verified (when visible)
handle: Channel handle e.g. @Openclaw
subscribers: Subscriber count displayed on the channel
description: Channel description text (when available)
thumbnail: Channel avatar or thumbnail image URL (when available)

Why YouTube Channel API is right for you
