7. Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool work for all YouTube channels?

The tool works with most public YouTube channels. However, if a channel has made certain statistics private (such as subscriber count), those metrics may not be displayed.

Is there a limit to how many channels I can analyze?

No, you can analyze as many channels as you like. There are no daily or monthly limits.

Are the statistics real-time?

The statistics are fetched at the time of your request and represent the most current data available through the YouTube API. However, there might be a slight delay compared to what you see on YouTube directly.

Can I track changes in channel statistics over time?

The current version of the tool provides a snapshot of channel statistics at the time of analysis. To track changes over time, you would need to perform analyses periodically and record the results yourself.

Can I analyze my own channel?

Yes, you can analyze any public YouTube channel, including your own. Simply enter your channel URL, ID, or handle just as you would for any other channel.

Does this tool show subscriber demographics?

No, the tool doesn't provide demographic information about subscribers. That data is only available to channel owners through YouTube Studio.
