📡 Live-data tool
Public data from the official YouTube Data API. Results are cached for a short time to save quota.
How to use the YouTube Channel ID Extractor
- Paste a channel link, @handle or a video’s channel URL.
- Press Get data.
- Copy the ID or permanent channel URL.
Why creators use it
- Set up YouTube integrations, RSS feeds or analytics tools that ask for a channel ID.
- Build a subscribe link that keeps working if the handle changes.
Good to know
- Uses the official YouTube Data API v3. Data shown is exactly what the API returns for public videos and channels; private, deleted or region-blocked items return no data.
- Old /c/ custom URLs are resolved through YouTube search when they are not also a handle, which can occasionally match a similarly named channel; verify the avatar and name.
