One API, the whole platform

Read any public corner of YouTube

Channels, videos, shorts, live streams, playlists, community posts, comments, hashtags — plus deep analytics endpoints you won't find on the official API.

Search & Resolve

Find channels, videos, playlists and movies; turn any @handle, URL or name into a channel ID.

/search/videos/channels/resolve/suggestions

Channel stats

Subscribers, lifetime views, video count, join date and country — exact numbers, not rounded buckets.

/channels/{id}/info/channels/{id}/videos/shorts

Video details

Views, likes, duration, category, publish date, description, keywords and related videos.

/videos/{id}/detail/comments/related-videos

Analytics & compare

Engagement rates, comment stats, description links, timestamps, and side-by-side video or channel comparisons.

/explore/videos/engagement/channels/compare/batch

Pro signals

Restored dislike counts, like-through rate, most-replayed heatmap, chapters and hashtag feeds.

/videos/{id}/dislikes/insights/chapters

Transcripts

Full captions for any video with timestamps, in JSON, plain text, SRT or VTT — the fuel for AI apps.

/transcript/languages?format=srt
Built for AI apps

Feed YouTube straight into your LLM

Summarizers, chat-with-video, RAG pipelines and content tools all need one thing first: the transcript. Lumeo returns clean, timestamped captions in the exact shape your model wants — no scraping, no yt-dlp, no proxies to babysit.
