Why Good YouTube Tags Matter

Tags help YouTube understand your video content and match it with the right audience, improving discoverability and search ranking.

FAQ

Note: YouTube's public API does not expose whether a channel is actually enrolled in the Partner Program — that's private data only the channel owner can see in YouTube Studio. This tool shows public channel stats (subscribers, join date) only, not a real monetization status.

Note: Some videos have comments disabled or restricted by the creator — those will show an error, which is expected.

Why Bulk Video Stats Matter

Checking videos one at a time wastes API quota. This tool batches up to 50 video IDs into a single videos.list call, so you get views, likes, and comment counts for an entire upload history or competitor list in one request instead of fifty.

How This Detects Shorts

YouTube doesn't expose a video's pixel resolution through its public API, so this tool uses YouTube's own Shorts duration rule — videos 180 seconds or shorter — as the signal, alongside the video's standard/high definition flag.

Tracking Live Broadcasts

This pulls a video's liveStreamingDetails directly from YouTube: broadcast state, scheduled start time, actual start/end time, and concurrent viewers while the stream is live. Great for monitoring premieres and live events without refreshing YouTube manually.

CSV Exports for Spreadsheets & Reports

Pulls up to 50 playlist items per request and lets you download them as a ready-to-use CSV file — handy for content calendars, client reports, or bulk-importing a playlist into a spreadsheet.

Why Not Just Use Search?

YouTube's search.list endpoint costs 100 quota units per call — enough to drain a free daily quota in about 100 requests. Every channel has a hidden "uploads" playlist that lists the same videos for a fraction of the cost: one channels.list call to find it, one playlistItems.list call to read it.

Tracking Channel Milestones

Run this daily (manually, or on a schedule via cron) and log the numbers to spot growth spurts, plateaus, or the exact day a channel crosses a subscriber milestone.

Understanding Creator Networks

Most channels keep their subscriptions private by default — if a channel hasn't made theirs public, this will return a privacy notice instead of a list, which is expected YouTube behavior, not a bug.

Why Homepage Layout Matters

A channel's homepage shelves shape what a new visitor sees first. This tool reads the same channelSections data YouTube Studio uses, useful for competitor research or auditing your own channel's layout.

Branding Research Made Easy

Useful for competitor benchmarking, channel audits, or just seeing what a high-resolution channel banner looks like at full size before you design your own.

What Are Guide Categories?

These are the broad content categories YouTube uses internally to organize channels by region — different from video categories, and rarely documented publicly.

How This Scoring Works

This runs a lightweight keyword-based scoring pass over the top 50 comments to sort them into positive, negative, and neutral — a quick pulse check, not a substitute for a full NLP model. Use it to spot an obviously happy or upset audience at a glance.

Cleaning Up Your Comment Section

Flags comments containing links, repeated promo phrases, or other common spam markers so you can find what to moderate without reading every single comment by hand.

Finding Your Best Comments

Pulls the top 50 comments and ranks them by like count client-side, surfacing the single most-liked reaction to a video — often the best pinned-comment candidate.

Where Do I Get a Comment ID?

Run the Comment Extractor or Comment Sentiment tool on a video first — comment IDs aren't visible in the normal YouTube UI, but this site's other comment tools expose them so you can dig into a specific reply thread.

One Feed Instead of Many Tabs

Pulls a channel's public activity feed — uploads, playlist changes, and more — in a single request, useful for tracking multiple creators without visiting each channel page.

Turning This Into a Real Bot

This endpoint returns the latest activity for a channel on demand. A full notifier bot needs a scheduled cron job that calls it periodically, remembers the last video ID it saw in a small state file, and only fires a Discord/Telegram webhook when that ID changes — ask your developer to wire that up if you want it fully automated.

Why Category IDs Differ by Region

YouTube enables different category sets in different countries. This is the same category list used to build region-aware SEO tools and filters.

Where This Is Used

Useful when setting audio track languages, captions, or localized metadata programmatically — these are the exact codes YouTube's own systems recognize.

Where This Is Used

Handy as a reference when building region selectors for other tools on this site — like the Trending Category Finder and Guide Categorizer above.

Auditing a Channel's Playlists

Lists every public playlist a channel has published, with video counts and privacy status — useful for planning a content library or checking what a competitor has organized.
