Youtube: Search Channels
Youtube via Parse · streaming_video
Search YouTube for channels matching a topic or niche query, filtered to channel results only. For each channel found, visits the channel's About page to extract the full description and any publicly visible contact email. Returns channel metadata including handle, name, subscriber count, video count, profile picture, and contact email. Each result requires an additional About page fetch, so larger limits take proportionally longer. Extract video URLs and metadata from a YouTube channel's videos page, with support for sorting and pagination. Fulfilled by Parse from www.youtube.com.
