AmazonFrom Request to Clean JSON
You write one line. We do everything between the request and the data.
You send
One API call
GET the YouTube endpoint with your key. That's all your code does.
We handle
Proxies · captchas · parsing
Residential exit, anti-bot walls, JS rendering and extraction, all server-side, on us.
You get
Clean JSON
A structured object every time. No HTML, no scraping code, no maintenance.
The YouTube Channel endpoint is one API call: send either a channel ID, a handle or a URL with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull a YouTube channel in full: about text, country, subscriber, view and video counts, every external link and its artwork. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when YouTube changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.
What the YouTube Channel API returns
about
Channel description and country.
subscriberCount
Subscriber total, plus view and video counts.
links[]
Every external link on the channel page.
avatar / banner
Channel artwork at full resolution.
Example response
{
"id": "UC...",
"title": "Channel name",
"about": "What the channel is about.",
"subscriberCount": 412000,
"videoCount": 318,
"links": ["https://example.com"],
"banner": "https://.../banner.jpg"
}Trimmed for brevity. Every call returns the full object with all fields listed here.
The YouTube channel endpoint
Full YouTube reference →/api/v1/scrape/youtube/channel-lookupSend at least one of: channelId, handle or url. Every parameter below is individually optional, so a call with none of these is rejected.
Otherwise the call returns 400 One of channelId, handle, or url is required.
Parameters
channelIdstringoptionalIdentifier from a previous response.
handlestringoptionalAccount handle or @username.
urlurloptionalTarget URL (profile, post or video).
cache_max_agestringoptionalAccept a cached result up to this old (1d, 3d, 7d, 14d or 30d) and pay nothing for it. Omit for a live scrape. Allowed values: `1d`, `3d`, `7d`, `14d`, `30d`.
Example request
curl "https://hproxy.com/api/v1/scrape/youtube/channel-lookup?handle=MrBeast" \
-H "X-API-Key: hpx_your_key_here"POST with a JSON body works too. Failed calls, timeouts and rate-limited calls are never billed.
Scraping YouTube channel in three steps
Create a free account
Sign up and top up any amount. The balance pays for every HProxy product and never expires.
Grab your API key
One key from the dashboard authenticates every scraper, YouTube channel included.
Call the endpoint
Send the target to the YouTube Channel endpoint and read the JSON. That is the whole integration.
No captchas, ever
Anti-bot walls, JS rendering and rate limits are handled server-side. You call an API, that is the whole job.
Residential-backed
Every request exits through HProxy's own residential network, so it looks like a real user on a real device.
Pay per call
No subscription, no seat licenses. Calls are billed from your balance and the balance never expires.
Fresh on every call
Responses are scraped live at request time, no stale cache dressed up as data.
Failures are free
Automatic retries first; if an extraction still fails, the call is not charged.
Scales with you
From one call to millions: same endpoint, same price curve, volume discounts as you grow.
What people build with it
Enrich a creator database with live channel stats.
Track subscriber growth across a roster.
