FAQ

Questions about Get Channel Stats.

What does the Get Channel Stats action do in YouTube?

Returns a channel's statistics: subscriber count (rounded by YouTube above 1000), total views, and total video count. Used for creator dashboards and growth trackers.

What inputs does Get Channel Stats require?

Get Channel Stats has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if YouTube returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message YouTube returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Get Channel Stats support batch operations?

Run Get Channel Stats inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within YouTube's rate limits.
