YouTube Channel Live Streams

Live streaming on YouTube has exploded - from gaming and music to corporate events and educational broadcasts. Channels that go live regularly build engaged communities, and tracking live stream performance is critical for competitive analysis, sponsorship evaluation, and content strategy. But YouTube does not provide easy access to a channel's live stream history in a structured format.

What it extracts

• Stream Title — The title of the live stream as displayed on the channel.
• Broadcast Date — The date when the live stream aired.
• Viewer Count — The number of viewers the stream attracted (peak or total depending on display).
• Duration — The length of the live stream.
• Thumbnail — The thumbnail image URL for the stream.
• Stream URL — The direct link to the live stream replay or listing.

What you can do with it

• Complete live stream history from any YouTube channel - titles, dates, durations, and viewer counts - in a structured dataset for analysis.
• Competitor live strategy analysis: see how often rivals stream, what topics they cover, and how many viewers they attract per session.
• Sponsorship evaluation with live engagement data: go beyond subscriber counts to measure actual live audience sizes and streaming consistency.
• Scheduling intelligence by tracking when competitors go live and how their viewer counts vary by day, time, and topic.

Frequently asked questions

What is a YouTube live stream scraper?

A YouTube live stream scraper extracts data about live broadcasts from YouTube channel pages. This robot captures stream titles, dates, viewer counts, and durations from the channel's live content section, making it easy to analyze live streaming patterns and engagement in a spreadsheet.

Do I need the YouTube API for this?

No. This robot works without any API key. It visits the channel page directly and extracts the publicly displayed live stream information, so you are not limited by API quotas.

Can I compare live streams across multiple channels?

Yes. Queue multiple channel URLs and all live stream data flows into one dataset. Compare streaming frequency, viewer counts, and content topics across creators.

Can I track upcoming scheduled live streams?

The robot captures what YouTube displays on the live tab, which may include upcoming scheduled streams if the channel has them listed. Check back regularly or schedule runs to catch new live events.

Is this YouTube live scraper free?

Browse AI's free plan includes credits to run this robot at no cost. Start extracting YouTube live stream data without a credit card.

How far back does the live stream history go?

The robot captures whatever YouTube displays on the channel's live tab. The depth of history varies by channel - some show their most recent streams while others may display a longer archive.
