FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the subscriber count rounded?

YouTube rounds subscriber counts above 1,000 on the public API and channel pages. Only the creator can see the exact figure in Studio.

Is the count real-time?

The API caches subscriber counts, so there may be a delay of a few hours compared to the live figure in YouTube Studio.

Can I check subscriber count for a private channel?

No. Private channels are not accessible via the YouTube Data API.

Why do some channels show 0 subscribers?

Very new channels or those that have opted out of showing subscriber counts publicly will display 0 or no count.

Can I track subscriber count over time?

This tool gives a point-in-time snapshot. For time-series tracking, record the figure manually at regular intervals or use a dedicated analytics service.
