Channel › Videos

YouTube channel ID. Provide at least one of: channelId, handle.

YouTube channel handle without the @ symbol. Provide at least one of: channelId, handle.

Only videos published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Older videos are left off the page, and the page that reaches one ends the walk: next_cursor is not returned and pagination.stopped_at is since. Pinned videos sit out of date order and never end the walk. The page still costs what a page costs, so a daily poll pays for the pages it walks and no more.

The id (post.id) or URL (post.url) of the newest video you already hold. The page stops just before it: that video and everything after it are left off, next_cursor is not returned, and pagination.stopped_at is known_id. A pinned video never counts as the stop point. If it is not on this page the page is returned in full with its cursor, so keep walking. pagination.stopped_at is end when the list ran out first and null while there is more to walk.

Continuation token to get more videos. Get 'continuationToken' from previous response.

Set to true to add the like count and comment count (post.engagement.likes / .comments) and the video description (post.ext.description). For the full per-video detail use /v1/youtube/video. Slows the response slightly.

Set to 'true' to search YouTube's public paid product placement / sponsorship / endorsement surface: returns normal videos where the creator disclosed a paid promotion.

Set to channel (one token only) to add the channel's subscriber count to every row (post.ext.author_followers, YouTube's own figure, rounded to three significant figures above 1,000) plus post.author.display_name, .avatar_url and post.ext.channel_id where missing. Adds well under a second (never more than 8). Read data.hydration for what it did.

Exact publish dates are on by default and free. Set to false to skip the lookup: those rows then carry the supplier's estimate (a day-granular or coarser label truncated to midnight UTC), marked by post.ext.published_precision and post.ext.published_label. A row the lookup could not resolve keeps that estimate and marker, and _warnings carries exact_dates_partial (some rows) or exact_dates_unavailable (none).
