Estimate YouTube ad revenue for a channel from its monthly views. Returns the RPM range in USD, monthly and yearly USD ranges, the model used and a link to the interactive calculator. Ads only, no sponsorships or memberships. Use creator_monetization for the underlying RPM tables and program requirements.
youtube_thumbnail_trendschangedtitle, description, input schema, annotationsThis week's measured thumbnail trends of the most-viewed new YouTube videos in 10 niches: share with faces, text, big text, brightness, colours, title length, plus top examples.
Get this week's measured thumbnail trends of the most-viewed new YouTube videos in 10 niches: share of thumbnails with faces, text and big text, brightness, dominant colours, title length, plus top example videos. Without a niche it returns the overall stats and the list of niches. Use it when designing or reviewing a thumbnail; the data refreshes weekly.
loudness_and_subtitleschangedtitle, description, input schema, annotationsmeaning changedLoudness targets (LUFS, true peak) for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, EBU R128, ATSC, podcasts and social video; subtitle rules (Netflix, BBC); frame rates and drop frame. Each value sourced.
Look up delivery standards for audio and captions. topic=loudness_targets gives integrated loudness (LUFS) and true-peak limits for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, EBU R128, ATSC A/85, podcasts and social video; subtitle_standards gives characters per line, lines, reading speed and timing rules (Netflix, BBC and others); frame_rates_timecode explains frame rates and drop-frame timecode. Every value sourced. Use it when mixing, exporting or captioning for a platform. Offline data, max 40 rows.
creator_monetizationchangedtitle, description, input schema, annotationsmeaning changedSourced 2026 data on creator monetization: platform programs and requirements, YouTube/TikTok RPM by niche or country, engagement-rate benchmarks, sponsored post rates.
Look up sourced 2026 creator-income data. topic=programs lists monetization programs with eligibility (subscribers, watch hours, views) and status; rpm_by_niche and rpm_by_country give earnings per 1,000 views as low, high and median; engagement_benchmarks gives typical engagement rates; sponsorship_rates gives price ranges per post. Every row carries its sources. Use it to answer 'how much does X pay' or 'what do I need to monetize'; for a concrete earnings estimate from a view count use estimate_youtube_earnings instead. Offline data, max 40 rows.
social_video_specschangedtitle, description, input schema, annotationsmeaning changed2026 upload specs (aspect ratio, resolution, max length, file size, caption and hashtag limits) for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat and Threads, each with official sources.
Look up 2026 upload specs for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat and Threads: aspect ratio, resolution, max length, file size, caption and hashtag limits, each row with official source links, plus recent spec changes. Use it before exporting or cropping a video for a platform. Offline data, no network calls; empty filters return every row.
youtube_channel_idchangedtitle, description, input schema, annotationsmeaning changedFind the YouTube channel ID (UC...), handle, channel URL and RSS feed from a @handle, channel link or any video link.
Resolve a YouTube channel to its permanent channel ID (UC...). Returns channel ID, name, handle, channel URL and the RSS feed URL. Use it when an API, embed, RSS reader or analytics tool needs the UC ID; any video link of the channel works too. Not for statistics like subscriber counts.
transcribe_videochangedtitle, description, input schema, annotationsmeaning changedTranscribe a public video or Reel with Whisper (90+ languages, optional translation to English, optional section). Returns the text with timestamps. Videos up to 20 minutes per run.
Transcribe the speech of a public video, Reel, TikTok or Short with Whisper on the server. Returns the plain text plus segments with start and end times; waits up to 4 minutes, otherwise returns job_status_url to poll. Use it for captions, quotes, summaries or hooks; use get_video_info if you only need the written caption. Up to 20 minutes of audio per run, one transcription at a time server-wide, so cut long videos with start/end.
download_mediachangedtitle, description, input schema, annotationsmeaning changedPrepare a download of a public post: video (MP4), audio (MP3), image, thumbnail/cover, or a frame at a timestamp. Optional trim with start/end (e.g. '1:05'). Returns a download URL valid for 15 minutes. Only for content the user owns or may use.
Create a temporary download of a public post. Returns a job object with status and, when done, download_url (valid 15 minutes) plus job_status_url to poll if it is still running after about 100 seconds. Use kind=video for MP4, audio for MP3, image for photo posts and carousels, thumbnail for the cover, frame for a still at one timestamp. For the spoken text use transcribe_video instead. Videos up to 4 hours; only for content the user owns or may use.
get_video_infochangedtitle, description, input schema, annotationsmeaning changedRead a public Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads, Vimeo or Reddit post: title, author, duration, available qualities, caption and hashtags.
Read the metadata of a public Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Facebook or Pinterest post without downloading it. Returns platform, title, uploader, duration in seconds, available video heights, whether it has video/audio, gallery size, caption, hashtags and thumbnail URL. Use it first to check a link or pick a quality; use download_media to get the file and transcribe_video for the spoken words. Shares the website's limit of 30 requests per minute.
