No long-term commitment. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime. Free Trial includes up to 50 requests.
Access to the API is granted through API keys provided upon registration. Visit our developer portal, sign up, and obtain your unique API key to integrate the service into your applications or systems.
The API utilizes API key authentication. Include your unique API key in the request headers to authenticate and access the viewership data for the specified YouTube video.
The API primarily provides real-time viewership metrics. For historical data, consider implementing your own data storage solution or regularly polling the API to accumulate data over time.
The API provides near real-time data, with updates occurring within minutes of a change in viewership. However, specific update intervals may vary, and it's advisable to consult our documentation for the most accurate information.
The API returns data in a standardized format such as JSON. Ensure your application is equipped to parse and handle this format for seamless integration.
The Get Viewers endpoint returns real-time viewership metrics for a specified YouTube video, including the current viewer count and additional streaming data such as video formats, quality, and duration.
Key fields in the response include "success," "code," "message," and "data." Within "data," you'll find "streamingData," which contains viewer count, video formats, quality labels, and other relevant metrics.
The response data is structured in JSON format. It includes a top-level object with success status and a data object that houses detailed metrics like viewer count and streaming information, making it easy to parse.
The primary parameter for the Get Viewers endpoint is the YouTube video ID. Users must provide this ID to retrieve the corresponding viewership data for that specific video.
The Get Viewers endpoint provides information such as the current viewer count, video quality options, format details, and streaming data, allowing users to analyze video performance comprehensively.
Users can leverage the returned data to track video performance, assess audience engagement, and make informed decisions about content strategy. For example, analyzing viewer count trends can guide future video topics.
The data is sourced directly from YouTube's platform, ensuring accuracy and relevance. The API retrieves real-time metrics based on YouTube's internal analytics, maintaining high data quality.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
