Questions

Where are the hidden tags?

The API does not return the tags box from YouTube Studio, so this tool cannot list it. It reads the hashtags and words in the title and description.

How are keywords chosen?

By counting the words in the title and description after dropping common English words. It is a count, not a ranking signal from YouTube.

Is this tool free?

Yes. No account and no card. Each visitor gets a limited number of lookups an hour, so it stays free for everyone.

How do I get this data in my own app?

Send GET /v1/youtube/video with your key in the x-api-key header. A request costs 1 credit. A repeat of something fetched recently costs 0 credits, and failed requests are free. See the reference.
