I'm working on a tool that lists all the channel links having more than 100k subscribers. Is there any way to get a list of channels? Or is there any API I can use?

  • In addition to @BenjaminLoison's comment, I also tried to get channels with certain amount of subs, but, you have to keep in mind that not every single channel has its location. Try to search for channels in certain region and add more filters to the search? What other criteria you have for search those channels? - keep in mind also that certain channels have their subscriber count private, so, probably those channels wont be included in your results. – Marco Aurelio Fernandez Reyes Jul 22 '22 at 20:48

In addition to BenjaminLoison's comment, I also tried to get channels with certain amount of subs, but, you have to keep in mind that not every single channel has its location.

Using the YouTube Data API - search.list endpoint, you can try to search for channels in certain region and add more filters to the search.

What other criteria you have for search those channels? - keep in mind also that certain channels have their subscriber count private, so, probably those channels wont be included in your results.

See this example for get channels from Japan1

1 as mentioned, some channels does not have the "location" set in their info; also, YouTube returns videos and channels from other countries/locations/regions - independent of the region set in the request. So, you have to work with what YouTube provides publicly.
