FAQ
Common questions
How do credits work?
Most endpoints cost 1 credit. The full channel statistics endpoint costs 2 credits. Credits never expire, so you can buy what you need and use them whenever.
Do you charge for failed requests?
No. If our backend fails (HTTP 5xx) or the upstream returns "not found", credits are refunded automatically. You only pay for successful data.
What URL formats are supported?
Any YouTube URL. That includes /@handle, /channel/UC…, /c/, /watch?v=, youtu.be/, /shorts/, /live/ and /post/.
Is there a rate limit?
Yes. Each API key is limited to 60 requests per minute. If you need more throughput, email [email protected].
Can I get a refund?
Unused credits are refundable within 14 days under UK / EU consumer law. After credits are spent on successful requests they're non-refundable. Full details in our refund policy.
Is this affiliated with YouTube?
No. tubestat is an independent service that surfaces publicly available YouTube data. We are not endorsed by, sponsored by or affiliated with YouTube or Google.
