Key Endpoints
Discover: The Discover endpoints let you search for YouTube videos, Shorts, and channels using keyword-based discovery. They provide a fast way to surface relevant content and creators before performing deeper metadata or engagement analysis.
Channel: The Channel endpoints give you complete access to a channel’s metadata, uploaded content, and resolved URLs. They allow you to understand a creator’s identity, performance, and publishing activity through structured “about,” “content,” and resolver data.
Video: The Video endpoints provide detailed video metadata, transcripts, and comment threads. They support full video analysis by exposing content structure, audience conversations, and engagement metrics in a unified workflow.
