Understanding the Structure and Formats of YouTube Channel IDs

A unique YouTube Channel ID is handed out to each channel whenever the company establishes one. It’s generally composed of combinations of different characters ranging from numbers to alphabets. Multiple patterns can exist for how a YouTube Channel ID looks like:

• ID-based URL: It is present at the end of the channel’s URL such as youtube.com/channel/UCBR8-60-B28hp2BmDPdntcQ.
• Handle URL: This is generated when the channel owner selects a handle for his or her channel like youtube.com/@youtubecreators.
• Custom URL: It used to be changeable but no longer is; however existing custom URLs still work like normal, for instance, youtube.com/c/ YouTubeCreators.
• Legacy URL: These are old URLs that redirect one to new handle-based ones e.g., youtube.com/user/YouTube.

The format for channel IDs on YouTube could be subject to change as the platform evolves. Therefore, always check the most recent official documentation or utilize YouTube API if you want correct information.

Can a YouTube Channel ID Be Used to Track a Creator’s Videos and Activity?

Indeed, there is an API that allows developers to access various data points for YouTube channels, such as video uploads and other operations. However, this API requires programming knowledge before it can be used, and it has other limitations as stated in its terms of service.
