YouTube Channel public email API
Get the email address a YouTube creator writes in the channel's public description, the text anyone can read on the About tab. It never returns the business email YouTube hides behind the View email address button; youtube.channel_contact reveals that one.

Request body
JSON, posted to this endpoint.
- channelIdstring
YouTube channel ID (UC...).
- handlestring
@mkbhd
YouTube channel handle, with or without the leading @.
Response
JSON, one example value per field.
The email address from the channel description, or null when there is none.
- emailstring
The email address written in the channel's public description. A description holding several addresses returns one of them.
- foundboolean
True when the channel's public description contains an email address. False when it contains none or the channel does not exist; a false answer does not mean the creator has no business email, because YouTube can hide one behind the View email address button (youtube.channel_contact reveals it).
- reason"not_found"
Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost.
