Playlist

GET
/v1/youtube/playlist

Returns the videos in a playlist in playlist order: video id, title, thumbnail, channel and publish date. include=engagement adds views, likes, comments and duration.

Use it when you have a playlist id. Same rows as playlist/items from the same source; this lane has a second source behind it, so prefer it when availability matters.

Metered: 20–220 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.

Query Parameters

playlist_id*string

YouTube playlist ID

cursor?string

Pagination cursor from a previous response: fetches the next page.

channel_id?string

YouTube channel id: pages that channel's uploads instead of a playlist.

include?string

Set to engagement, channel, or both (engagement,channel) to fill more of every row in this one call. engagement fills post.engagement.views, .likes and .comments, post.content.duration_seconds, post.ext.channel_id and post.author.display_name where the row lacks them, and replaces a date derived from a label such as "4 months ago" with the exact publish time (removing post.ext.published_precision). channel puts the channel's subscriber count on post.ext.author_followers (YouTube's own figure, which it rounds to three significant figures above 1,000) and fills the channel's post.author.display_name, .avatar_url and .username where missing. Send both to cover rows that arrive without a channel id: the video join supplies it and the channel join then uses it. Each join adds 0.2 to 0.7 seconds on a fresh page (one lookup per 50 ids, never more than 8 seconds). Read data.hydration for the rows, lookups, credits held and kept, and the time.

Playlist › Items GET

Returns the videos of a playlist in playlist order, each with video id, title, thumbnail, the video's own channel, its publish date, and its position and insertion time on post.ext. Use it when you have a playlist id; add include=engagement for counts and durations. Same rows as playlist, which has a second source behind it. **Metered: 20–220 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).

Profile › Full GET

Returns a channel's profile, up to 30 recent videos, and computed metrics in one call: engagement rate by views and by followers, posting cadence, top post, and format mix. Use it instead of calling channel and channel/videos yourself; if the videos cannot be fetched you still get the profile with those metrics empty. **100 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).
