Channel Data

Pull everything from a channel's About page in one call — name, description, subscriber and view counts, country, language, join date, topics, social links, trailer, banner, and more.

Show stats for a single longform channel indexed in Algrow, rendered with the same card widget as search_longform_channels — just one card instead of many. Channel must already be in Algrow's longform index; if not, call process_channel first.

Full monetization profile for one longform channel — whether the channel sells to its audience, every monetization method it uses (digital_product, course, community, membership, affiliate, physical, merch, tool_software, newsletter, sponsorship, licensing, service_leadgen) with per-method evidence + source link, products/prices found, and offer/store URLs. For finding/filtering channels by what they sell, use search_longform_channels with the sells/monetization params instead.

Is this channel in a YouTube CMS / MCN, and who runs it? Looks up the channel's content owner — the rights-holder/network operating it behind the scenes. Database-first over ~320K pre-checked longform channels (instant); unchecked channels or refresh=true trigger a live check (10–60s), persisted for next time. Returns status (managed / not_managed / unchecked), the owner {oid, name, type, industry} when managed, and a network sample of other channels the same owner runs — pass full_network=true (Professional/Ultimate) for the complete roster. With compare, answers whether two channels are run by the same owner in one call. Starter includes 5 live lookups/day (compare counts as 2), verdict + owner only.

Browse and search CMS/MCN networks directly — the network-centric view. Where get_channel_cms goes channel-in / owner-out, this goes network-in / channels-out. List mode (no oid): ranked networks matching q (or the biggest overall) with member counts and total subscribers. Detail mode (oid): that one network with its top member channels (up to 100, biggest first). Counts come from Algrow's verified database, so network sizes reflect confirmed linkage. Included with Professional and Ultimate.

The full EXTERNAL monetization profile for one longform channel — what it sells off-platform (products, communities, affiliates), how, and how successful each funnel is. Always analyzed fresh at call time (3–30s), so the result reflects the channel's current monetization. For whether the channel runs ads ON YouTube, use get_channel_monetization instead.

Estimate who watches a channel — gender split with a lean label, the full seven-bracket age distribution with the dominant bracket, and a confidence level. Works for any channel in Algrow's index; no channel ownership needed. Channels without an estimate yet return classified=false.

See how a channel has grown day-by-day across any date range you pick — subscribers, views, and uploads, plus a summary with total growth over the window.

Browse a channel's longform uploads, newest first — with titles, view counts, durations, upload dates, and thumbnails.

Browse a channel's Shorts, newest first — the real Shorts tab, not short-duration regular videos.

See every public playlist on a channel — title, description, video count, and thumbnail for each. Paginates in batches of 50.
