GET
/v1/youtube/profile/full

Returns a channel's profile and up to 30 recent videos in one call. Use it instead of calling channel and channel/videos yourself; if the videos cannot be fetched you still get the profile.

Beta. A composite: data.profile is a schema-2 Profile and data.posts[].post are schema-2 Posts, and the posts page with cursor. The rest of data is the source's own structure under our naming rules (snake_case keys, string ids). Fields outside the profile and posts may change. See Schema 2.

50 credits per call.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.
