The URL type is auto-detected and the relevant API endpoint is called for accurate, real-time data — no screen scraping.
Download structured JSON with all stats
Results are saved as youtube/youtube.json in your ZIP — nested objects for video, channel and playlist data.

Works with youtube.com/watch, @channel handles, /c/ and /user/ URLs, and full playlist links.
Structured JSON
