Custom API|A YouTube data API built around your company
“We just want the food channels growing fastest right now.”
Tell us what you need and we pull out the channels and videos that fit,
work out the growth, rank them, and send it by API.
Nothing left for you to process.

Views and subscriber counts, you can get.
Finding “the fastest-growing channels
of the last 30 days” means working it out yourself.
Collecting, storing, and cleaning it up
all takes time.
The data is rarely ready the moment you need it.
Basic data won't tell you whether content is adult,
political, violent, or AI-generated.
You have to check brand safety yourself.
Put the three together and you get one request
{ // 001 · fields "fields": [ "channelId", "title", "category", "subscriberCount", "viewCount", "dailyViews", "likes", "comments" ], // 002 · score "period": "30d", "score": { "subGrowth": 0.8, "viewGrowth": 0.2 }, "normalizeBySize": true, // 003 · exclude "contentType": "videos", "exclude": ["adult", "politics", "ai_generated"], "keywordsOut": ["ad inquiry"]}
Scores on subscriber growth 80% and view growth 20%, with Shorts excluded. We settle the criteria together before the contract.
We sort the data we collect every day by the criteria you set, and send back only the results you need.

From defining what you need to API integration, in four steps.
We asked the YouTube Data API and vling Custom API the same thing: “the fastest-growing food channels of the last 30 days.”

We'll show you a sample response first,
then walk through how the integration works.
