YouTube Video Details & Metadata API: AI Large Language Models

Extract comprehensive YouTube video metadata, engagement stats, channel subscriber counts, and tags through MuAPI.

📝

Overview

About this model

YouTube Video Info returns the full attribute set for a single video: title, description, view/like/comment counts, duration, publication date, thumbnail, category, and keyword tags, plus the uploading channel's ID, title, URL, subscriber count, and verification status. This gives you in one call what would otherwise take scraping the watch page and the channel page separately, which makes it useful for auditing your own catalog or reverse-engineering a competitor's tagging and optimization strategy. Because subscriber counts and verification status are included, it also doubles as a lightweight channel-authority check.

1Performance auditing: Pull view, like, and comment counts to benchmark a video's engagement over time.
2Tag and keyword research: Extract competitor video tags to inform your own metadata strategy.
3Channel authority checks: Verify a channel's subscriber count and verification badge before a partnership.
4Content catalog management: Sync video metadata (title, description, category) into an internal CMS or dashboard.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

Can I pass a full YouTube URL instead of just the ID?

Yes. The API automatically extracts the video ID from standard watch URLs, short youtu.be links, embeds, and YouTube Shorts.

Why is this priced higher than organic search?

YouTube video info queries deep video details and channel statistics, carrying a 3x SERP provider multiplier.

Does the response include the channel's subscriber count?

Yes, the `channel` object includes subscriber count and a verification flag alongside the channel's ID, title, and URL.

Are the video's tags/keywords included?

Yes, the `keywords` array returns the uploader's tags as set on the video, useful for reverse-engineering a competitor's keyword targeting.

What if the video is private or deleted?

The request fails with an error since the underlying metadata is no longer publicly retrievable from YouTube.
