YouTube video analyzer
Views, likes, like rate, duration and tags for any YouTube video.
Paste any YouTube video URL or ID to see its view count, like count, like rate, duration, category, whether it has captions, and the keyword tags the video targets — so it doubles as a YouTube tag extractor. Useful for studying what makes a video perform, reverse-engineering a competitor's tags, and sizing a creator's individual uploads. One UnifAPI YouTube lookup per check.
How do I see the tags on a YouTube video?
Paste the video's URL or its 11-character ID above. The result lists the keyword tags the creator set, which YouTube does not show on the watch page, together with views, likes, like rate, length and category.
How do I check a YouTube video's like rate?
Like rate is likes divided by views, as a percentage, and the result shows it for every video you check. When the creator hides the like count, the rate reads 0% instead of a guess.
Is the YouTube video analyzer free?
Sample checks are free and labeled as samples. A live check costs 1 credit ($0.001) from a UnifAPI workspace, and the first top-up adds a one-time 2,000-credit bonus.

Questions about this tool
What video URL formats are supported?
Standard watch links (youtube.com/watch?v=…), short links (youtu.be/…), Shorts and embed URLs, or a bare 11-character video ID. We extract the ID and look the video up directly.
Why is the like count sometimes lower than expected or zero?
Creators can hide like counts, and YouTube only exposes a best-effort number. When it's hidden the count reads as zero and the like rate is reported as 0% rather than guessed.
What is the like rate?
Likes ÷ views, as a percentage. It's a quick proxy for how positively viewers responded relative to reach — useful for comparing two videos from the same or different channels.
Can I get the transcript or comments too?
This tool focuses on the video's stats and tags. The same UnifAPI YouTube surface also exposes captions and comments endpoints, which a workspace can call directly or via an agent.
