Use this when you need ScrapeCreators YouTube data from GET /v1/youtube/channel for Channel Details. Retrieves comprehensive YouTube channel profile data including name, avatar images, subscriber count (subscribers), total video and view counts, join date, tags, and linked social accounts like Twitter and Instagram. Accepts a channelId, handle, or full channel URL as input. Returns channel metadata such as country, email, and external store links when available.
