YouTube Video Info Viewer
Title, channel, embed code, and metadata for any YouTube video. Uses YouTube's official oEmbed API — runs in your browser, no API key.
Sometimes you don't want to download a video — you want its **metadata**. The video's title, the channel that uploaded it, the embed code for putting it on your site, the thumbnail in every size, the natural display dimensions. The ToolEdge YouTube Video Info Viewer pulls all of this from YouTube's **official oEmbed endpoint** (`youtube.com/oembed`) — the same API Google publishes for sites like Twitter and Medium to render YouTube cards. It's sanctioned, public, and CORS-permitted; everything runs in your browser.
oEmbed gives you the structured-data version of a YouTube video without scraping HTML or violating any terms of service. Use it to grab a clean embed snippet for a blog post, check what title and author Twitter will show when you paste a video link, build link previews in your own app, or just confirm a URL points to the video you think it does. No API key, no rate limit hassle, no broken scrapers when YouTube changes its UI.
Common use cases
- Generating a clean `<iframe>` embed code with correct dimensions for a blog post or documentation page.
- Pre-checking how a YouTube link will preview on Twitter/X, Slack, Discord, or any oEmbed-aware app before sharing.
- Building a custom "video cards" feed in your own app using the same data Google publishes officially.
- Verifying the author + title of a video before linking to it from an editorial article.
- Grabbing the thumbnail and dimensions of a video for use in a custom player UI.
