Youtube Channel ID
/channel/idAccess YouTube data through superagnt: Youtube Channel ID. This endpoint get the channel ID of a Youtube Channel given the channel name. Responses are structured JSON for AI agents, analytics, and automation — one API key instead of juggling upstream accounts. Ideal when you need video metadata, channel discovery, comments, subtitles, and recommendations programmatically.
Call it over REST
Authenticate with a bearer token against https://api.superagnt.com. Swap the placeholders for your key and parameter values.
curl -s "https://api.superagnt.com/channel/id?channel_name=<channel_name>" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>"Copy-paste prompt
Paste this into a coding agent. It connects the superagnt MCP server, finds the tool data_youtube_youtube_channel_id, and runs a first call — with the REST fallback if MCP is unavailable.
You are wiring up the superagnt "YouTube" API to use this endpoint: Youtube Channel ID.
1. CONNECT over MCP (preferred). No token to paste either way.
On Claude (claude.ai, the desktop app, or Claude Code signed in with a Claude
account), the server is a connector: give the user this link, they click Add
and approve:
https://claude.ai/customize/connectors/yours?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=superagnt&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.superagnt.com%2Fmcp&open_in_browser=1
Any other MCP client (or Claude Code signed in with an API key): add the server
and let the client run the browser sign-in:
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http superagnt https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
claude mcp login superagnt
MCP endpoint: https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
After connecting, the tool you want is named exactly:
data_youtube_youtube_channel_id
Call agnt_tools_search or agnt_tools_list_enabled to confirm it is available.
2. REST fallback (if you are not using MCP):
GET https://api.superagnt.com/channel/id
Header: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>
Required parameters:
- channel_name (string, required)
Optional parameters:
- (none)
3. COST & KEY. Each successful call costs $0.003 in credits. Only successful calls are charged.

4. TEST. Connect the server (or set the key), discover the tool
(data_youtube_youtube_channel_id), run one minimal call with just the required parameters,
and report back the shape of the JSON response (top-level fields).
