YouTube Content Info API

The YouTube Content Info API provides detailed data about YouTube videos, such as title, description, views and interaction statistics.

About the API:  

The YouTube Content Info API is a powerful tool provided by Google that allows users to access detailed data about videos hosted on the YouTube platform. This API facilitates the integration of video information into applications, websites and other services, providing an efficient and programmatic way to retrieve data without the need to manually interact with the YouTube interface.

One of the main functionalities of this API is the ability to retrieve detailed metadata about a specific video. This metadata includes essential information such as the video title, description, publication date, duration, and video thumbnail. This information can be crucial for applications that need to display video-related content or for tools that manage and analyze video content in large volumes.

In addition to basic metadata, the API provides access to video performance statistics. This includes the number of views, number of “likes” and “dislikes,” number of comments, and other key interaction metrics that reflect the popularity and reach of the video. These metrics are valuable for data analysts and content creators, as they allow them to assess the impact and success of a video on the platform.

The API also provides details about the author of the video, making it possible to retrieve information about the channel that published the video. This includes the channel name, number of subscribers and other relevant channel statistics, which can be useful for applications that analyze the performance of YouTube channels or for systems that display information about the content creator.

Another notable feature of the API is its ability to provide data related to video rating and tagging. Developers can access the tags associated with a video, which are keywords used to describe the content and facilitate search. This information is useful for applications that offer personalized recommendations or for systems that categorize videos based on their content.

Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
