Channel › Community Posts

GET
/v1/youtube/channel/community-posts

Returns the posts on a channel's Posts tab, each with post id, URL, text, images, attached video, like count, publish time, and channel info.

Use it to read a channel's text and image posts in bulk; community-post fetches one post when you already have its URL.

20 credits per call.

Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.

Paginates by cursor — see Pagination.

Channel › About GET

Returns the address behind a channel's View email address control on author.ext.public_email, its listed country, and the profile: id, handle, name, avatar, bio, URL, subscribers, join date, views. Use it for outreach when GET /v1/youtube/channel returned no email: that lane reads only the public description, this one reads the About tab control. Premium priced, so shortlist first. **500 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 24h is free.

Channel › Lives GET

Returns the live and past streams on a channel's Live tab, each with title, URL, thumbnail, view count, publish time, and duration. Use it to track a channel's streaming output; channel/videos returns regular uploads and leaves the Live tab out. **Metered: 20–140 credits.** We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).
