Questions it answers

Ask the way you would brief a colleague. Soradar decides what to look up and shows its sources.

  • How have this channel’s last 30 days of videos performed?

    Median views, how much rides on the best video, and how often they upload.

  • Which sunscreen review videos get the most views?

    The top videos from YouTube search, ranked, with what they have in common.

  • Summarise the comments on this video.

    What viewers praise and complain about, with quotes.

  • Find YouTube channels that review skincare.

    Channels from YouTube search, ready to look up one by one.

What Soradar reads on YouTube

All six data types are live. The three marked Limited work, with less detail than the rest.

AvailableProfiles
A channel’s profile with subscriber count.
LimitedPosts by creator
A channel’s recent videos, up to 100 per request. The list doesn’t include likes or comment counts; open a video for them.
AvailableSingle post
One video with its title, views, likes and comments.
AvailableComments
Up to 100 comments per request.
LimitedPost search
Videos by keyword, up to 100 per request. Search results don’t include likes or comment counts.
LimitedCreator search
Channels by keyword, up to 20 per request, without full subscriber counts; open a channel for them.

Results are reused for a short window, then fetched again: comments after 30 minutes, searches after an hour, videos after 6 hours, channels after 24 hours. Every result is marked fresh or cached, with its age.

How an answer is made

  1. 1

    Ask

    Type a question with a handle, a link or a topic — in English or Chinese.

  2. 2

    Soradar reads YouTube

    It fetches the public posts, profiles and comments it needs, and computes medians rather than averages.

  3. 3

    You get a cited answer

    Every number points at the posts it came from. If data is partial, the answer says so.

The same data, as an API

Developers get the same data as JSON, with the same fields as every other platform. Add x-format=llm to hand the response straight to a model.

API access comes with the Pro plan.

Questions

Why medians and not averages?

One breakout video drags an average far above what a typical video gets. The median is what a sponsored video is likely to get, and the report shows how much rides on the best one.

Do I need a YouTube account?

No. Soradar reads public data only, and nothing is sent to the accounts you look up.

What does it cost?

Every lookup and answer uses credits. The Free plan includes 300 credits to try it, no card needed; paid plans start at $20 a month.
