What's included
14 endpoints. Each call costs 5 credits.
find keywords your competitors are sleeping on
Ask your AI "what should I title my next cooking short?" and get real search volume, competition scores, and rising queries. The kind of research that used to take 20 minutes now happens mid-conversation.
spot videos that blew up for a reason
Identifies videos that massively outperformed their channel's average. Ask "why did this video get 10x more views than usual?" and your AI will have the actual data. View velocity, timing, format patterns.
audit any channel in seconds
Subscribers, upload frequency, view trends, engagement rate. All in one call. Your AI can compare your channel to a competitor without you copy-pasting a single number from the browser.
see what formats are blowing up right now
Not last week. Right now. Filter by category and region. Ask "what topics are getting traction in personal finance this week?" and get a real, data-backed list. No hallucinations.
find creators before they go mainstream
Channels gaining serious momentum before the algorithm pushes them everywhere. Great for spotting trends early, finding collab targets, or understanding what new formats are gaining traction in your niche.
reverse engineer what worked
View, like, and comment data across a video's full lifetime. Ask "when did this video spike and what changed?" and your AI can pinpoint the moment a video caught fire and help you replicate it.
look up any video instantly
Fetch detailed metadata for up to 50 videos at once: titles, descriptions, tags, categories, thumbnails, and current stats. Perfect for bulk research or building comparison tables without leaving your AI.
pull channel details in bulk
Get subscriber counts, view totals, descriptions, country, and topic categories for up to 50 channels in a single call. Ideal for competitive benchmarking and niche mapping.
browse any channel's uploads
See a channel's most popular or most recent videos filtered by format: long-form, Shorts, or live streams. Great for studying what's working on a competitor's channel right now.
read any video without watching it
Pull the full transcript of any YouTube video. Analyze what a creator actually said, extract key quotes, or compare content strategies across videos. All from inside your AI tool.
mine audience sentiment from comments
Get comment threads and replies for any video or channel. Understand what viewers love, what they complain about, and what questions keep coming up. Real audience intelligence, not guesswork.
see how fast a channel's videos gain views
Get a channel's typical view accumulation curve: min, max, average, and median views at each time interval after publishing. Understand whether a channel has explosive launches or slow-burn growth.
deep-dive your own channel's analytics
Access your YouTube Analytics data: views, watch time, subscribers gained, likes, comments, and more. Break down by day, country, device, or traffic source. Your Studio data, inside your AI.
run advanced queries on your channel data
Power-user analytics with custom aggregations, filters, and dimensional breakdowns. Combine metrics like engagement rate, net subscribers, and watch time across any time range. The most flexible tool in the kit.
vidIQ App for ChatGPT: Common Questions
vidIQ uses MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard that lets AI tools connect to external data sources. For ChatGPT specifically, vidIQ is also available as an official app in the ChatGPT App Store — no MCP setup required, just one click install. For other AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and Codex, vidIQ is integrated via the MCP connection.
No. vidIQ's MCP server uses our own data infrastructure, not the YouTube Data API. Your YouTube API quota is completely unaffected.
No. vidIQ's MCP server is strictly read-only. AI tools can query and surface insights, but they cannot post videos, change settings, or modify anything on your channel.
Yes. API keys are specific to MCP access, are revocable at any time, and are never shared with third-party AI providers. vidIQ only sends data in response to your explicit queries.
