Live YouTube Video Stats
Paste any YouTube video URL to see its live view, like and comment counts, duration and publish date — pulled straight from YouTube.
How it works
This tool reads the video ID from whatever YouTube link you paste — a standard watch URL, a youtu.be short link, a Shorts URL, or a raw ID — and queries the official YouTube Data API for that video's public statistics. You get the live view count, like count and comment count, plus the video's duration and publish date, refreshed each time you search.
How to use this tool
- Copy the URL of any public YouTube video.
- Paste it into the box and hit Get Video Stats.
- See live views, likes and comments, plus duration and publish date.
- Use Copy Results for a clean summary you can drop into a report.
Frequently asked questions
What video links work?
Standard watch URLs (youtube.com/watch?v=...), youtu.be short links, Shorts URLs (/shorts/...), embed URLs, and raw 11-character video IDs all work.
Why are likes or comments showing as 0 or a dash?
Creators can disable comments on a video, and YouTube sometimes withholds like counts. When the API doesn't return a figure, the tool shows a dash. Views are almost always available for public videos.
Can I check any creator's video?
Yes — any public video works, not just your own. It's a quick way to benchmark a video's performance or research what's working on other channels.
Are the numbers exact or rounded?
Video view, like and comment counts are returned as exact figures by the API — unlike channel subscriber counts, which YouTube rounds for large channels.
