YouTube

Measured YouTube data, one operation per call. Channels come from evidence (a pasted channel URL, an @handle you SAW, a UC… id) — never typed from a person's name. ops: channels (subjects = @handles, UC ids or channel URLs; add include.videos to get each channel's recent videos IN THE SAME CALL), videos (one channel, deep — includes the channel card when held; views, likes, comments, duration and absolute publish dates per video), comments (top comments on videos by watch/shorts URL or id), history (stored subscriber/video/view series, free). Ops are independent — issue several as PARALLEL tool calls. Fresh fetches cost credits; anything already held is free.
