No long-term commitment. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime. Free Trial includes up to 50 requests.
To use this API, users must indicate the URL of a YouTube video to obtain metadata of the indicated video.
The YouTube Video Stats API is a tool that allows users to access and retrieve various statistics and information about YouTube videos.
There are different plans to suit all tastes, including a free trial for a small number of requests, but your rate is limited to avoid abuse of the service.
Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.
The API returns a variety of data including video metadata, performance statistics (views, likes, comments), author information, and captions. This data is provided in a structured JSON format for easy integration.
Key fields in the response include "author," "description," "views," "likes," "comments," and "captions." Each field provides specific insights into the video's performance and content.
The response data is organized in a JSON structure, with key-value pairs representing different attributes of the video. For example, the "author" field contains the video's creator, while "description" provides a summary of the content.
The endpoint provides information such as video title, author, view count, like count, comment count, and any available captions. This comprehensive data helps users analyze video performance and content.
The primary parameter required is the video URL. This allows users to specify which video's data they wish to retrieve, enabling targeted requests for specific content.
Users can analyze the returned data to create analytics dashboards, enhance content moderation, or improve recommendation algorithms. For instance, tracking view counts over time can inform content strategy.
Data accuracy is maintained through direct integration with YouTube's platform, ensuring that the statistics and metadata reflect real-time information from the source.
Typical use cases include building video analytics dashboards, developing content moderation tools, enhancing recommendation engines, and creating social media integration applications that display video engagement metrics.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
