Get real-time, live-estimated subscriber, view, and video counts for any YouTube channel. Feed a list of channel ids, @handles, or channel URLs and receive one fresh snapshot per channel, ready for milestone tracking, leaderboards, and dashboards.

  • Live-estimated subscriber count (the ticking number used for milestone countdowns), not just the rounded public figure.
  • Total view count and total video count in the same row.
  • Accepts channel ids, @handles, and full channel URLs. Handles and URLs are resolved to the channel id automatically.
  • Runs many channels in parallel, one clean row each.

Input

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
channelsarray of stringsyesChannels to check. Each entry can be a channel id (UC...), an @handle, or a channel URL.
maxConcurrencyintegernoHow many channels to check in parallel. Default 5, max 20.

You can paste a single newline or comma separated string in place of the array.

Example input

{
"channels": [
"UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA",
"@GoogleDevelopers",
"https://www.youtube.com/@example"
],
"maxConcurrency": 5
}

Output

One row per channel:

FieldTypeDescription
inputstringThe exact value you supplied.
channelIdstringThe resolved UC... channel id.
subscribersnumberLive-estimated subscriber count.
viewsnumberTotal channel view count.
videosnumberTotal number of public videos.
checked_atstringISO 8601 timestamp of the check.

On a channel that cannot be found or a temporary upstream problem, the row instead carries an error field:

FieldValueMeaning
errornot_foundThe channel id, handle, or URL did not resolve to a real channel.
errorupstream_errorA temporary problem prevented reading counts. Retry later.

Example output

[
{
"input": "UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA",
"channelId": "UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA",
"subscribers": 507872117,
"views": 133472413977,
"videos": 992,
"checked_at": "2026-07-14T08:00:00.000Z"
},
{
"input": "@example",
"error": "not_found"
}
]

Pricing

This actor is billed pay per result: $0.002 per channel that returns a real live count. Channels that come back not_found or upstream_error are not charged.

Notes

  • The subscriber figure is a live estimate designed for milestone tracking, so it moves in real time and can differ slightly from the rounded number shown on the public channel page.
  • Very new or hidden channels may return not_found.
