Channel Data

Look up rich metadata for any YouTube channel by ID. If you only have a @handle or URL, call resolve_handle or resolve_url first.

TOOL get_channel_about

Pull everything from a channel's About page in one call — name, description, subscriber and view counts, country, language, join date, topics, social links, trailer, banner, and more.

Example prompt

"Give me the full About page for The Geo Network"

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
channel_id	string	required	24-char YouTube channel ID (starts with `UC`).

TOOL get_channel_stats

Show stats for a single longform channel indexed in Algrow, rendered with the same card widget as search_longform_channels — just one card instead of many. Channel must already be in Algrow's longform index; if not, call process_channel first.

Example prompts

"Show me the stats card for @hasanx"

"What are the stats for UCRbh9AMc9BIXw5MNCAf6DJw"

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
channel	string	null	Channel identifier — `UC...` ID, `@handle`, channel URL, or any video URL from that channel.
channel_id	string	null	Alias for `channel`. Accepted so callers that pass `channel_id` don't hit a validation error.
channel_url	string	null	Alias for `channel`. Accepted so callers that pass `channel_url` don't hit a validation error.
handle	string	null	Alias for `channel`. Accepted so callers that pass `handle` don't hit a validation error.

TOOL get_channel_monetization

Full monetization profile for one longform channel — whether the channel sells to its audience, every monetization method it uses (digital_product, course, community, membership, affiliate, physical, merch, tool_software, newsletter, sponsorship, licensing, service_leadgen) with per-method evidence + source link, products/prices found, and offer/store URLs. For finding/filtering channels by what they sell, use search_longform_channels with the sells/monetization params instead.

Example prompts

"What does @AliAbdaal sell to his audience?"

"Show the full monetization breakdown for UCoOae5nYA7VqaXzerajD0lg"

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
channel	string	null	Channel identifier — `UC...` ID, `@handle`, channel URL, or any video URL from that channel.
channel_id	string	null	Alias for `channel`.
channel_url	string	null	Alias for `channel`.
handle	string	null	Alias for `channel`.

TOOL get_channel_daily_analytics

See how a channel has grown day-by-day across any date range you pick — subscribers, views, and uploads, plus a summary with total growth over the window.

Example prompt

"How many subs did The Geo Network gain in the last 30 days?"

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
channel_id	string	required	24-char YouTube channel ID.
start_date	string	30 days ago	ISO `YYYY-MM-DD`.
end_date	string	today	ISO `YYYY-MM-DD`. Max window 365 days.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
channel_id	string	required	24-char YouTube channel ID.
limit	integer	30	Max videos (1–100).

TOOL get_channel_shorts

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
channel_id	string	required	24-char YouTube channel ID.
limit	integer	30	Max shorts (1–100).
