Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/youtube/channel-shorts with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.

How much does the YouTube Channel Shorts API cost?

$0.02 per call, billed from your SandBase balance. You are only charged for calls you make; there is no subscription.

What parameters does the YouTube Channel Shorts API accept?

Required: channelId (string). Optional: continuationToken (string). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.

What does the YouTube Channel Shorts API return?

A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous).
