FAQ

About the YouTube Channel lives API

The AnyAPI YouTube Channel lives API returns YouTube channel lives data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/youtube.channel_lives. List a YouTube channel's live and past-live streams by handle or channel ID with cursor pagination (title, views, length, publish time). AnyAPI routes each request across 2 sources and falls back automatically when one fails. It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum.

It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet, each call draws it down, and a failed request costs $0.

List a YouTube channel's live and past-live streams by handle or channel ID with cursor pagination (title, views, length, publish time). The response is normalized JSON with the same envelope every AnyAPI endpoint returns, so parsing a second endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.
