A YouTube video info API returns title, duration, channel, views, thumbnail, and video ID without transferring the file. On Zyla API Hub that job is the Info endpoint on the YouTube Premium Download API. Official example URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw.
The catalog is more than 10,000 public APIs. Subscribe per listing. No Free Plan. Your first Hub API includes a 7-day free trial (up to 50 requests). Downloader (async job, poll until progress is 1000) is a sibling path — this post stays on Info. Live streams may return limited metadata.
Request: official watch URL
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \

Docs list the Info fields as title, duration, channel, views, thumbnail image URL, and video ID. There is no published Info JSON dump in the product docs — copy the curl; do not invent those values. Shorts use the same Info path with a /shorts/ URL.
