Input
| Field | Type | Description |

channelUrls | array | Full YouTube channel URLs, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/@mkbhd or https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBJycsmduvYEL83R_U4JriQ |
handles | array | Channel handles without a full URL, e.g. @mkbhd (the @ is optional) |
maxItems | integer | Maximum number of channels to scrape (default 10, max 100) |
Provide either or both of channelUrls / handles; results are de-duplicated.

{"handles": ["@mkbhd", "@veritasium"],"maxItems": 10}

Notes
Data is extracted from YouTube's embedded ytInitialData JSON blob using a key-name deep search rather than fixed paths, to stay resilient to YouTube's periodic redesigns. Very small or newly created channels may be missing some fields (e.g. no country set). Non-English locales may not parse into subscriberCount cleanly — subscriberCountText always preserves the raw text as a fallback.
Pricing
$1.50 per 1,000 results (pay-per-event, $0.0015/channel). Comparable actors: Fast YouTube Channel Scraper $1.30/1k, Youtube Channel Scraper $1.00/1k.
