Find the UC channel ID, canonical URL, @handle, and profile details for any YouTube channel from its URL or @handle. Free, no login.
Supports: @handle · youtube.com/channel/UC… · channel ID
Every YouTube channel has a permanent channel ID that starts with UC and is 24 characters long. Unlike @handles and custom URLs, it never changes, so APIs, RSS feeds, and many third-party tools expect that stable id.
YouTube highlights youtube.com/@creator on profiles, so the UC id and the canonical youtube.com/channel/UC… link are easy to miss. Paste any channel link or @handle here and we return the UC id, the canonical URL, the @handle, plus a quick profile snapshot — title, created date, country, and description — so you can also confirm you picked the right channel.
Four identifiers so you can confirm the channel and copy what you need.
The permanent UC string for APIs, RSS (<code>channel_id=</code>), and anything that tracks a channel over time.
The official <code>youtube.com/channel/UC…</code> link for the same channel, ready to paste.
The public @handle when YouTube returns it—handy to verify you picked the right channel.
Title in the result header plus created date, country, and description when available.
Enter a @handle, channel URL, or any supported YouTube channel link.
We resolve the input and fetch the channel from the YouTube API.
Use the copy buttons for the UC id, channel URL, or handle.
Channel endpoints expect UC ids—resolve a URL or @handle before you call the Data API.
Feed URLs need channel_id=UC…; copy the id here instead of hunting in page source.
Panels usually ask for a UC id, not a vanity link—look it up once and reuse it.
Store UC ids in spreadsheets or a CRM; handles can change, ids do not.
When names look alike, the UC id confirms you have the right channel.
Use the UC id as a stable key when you wire YouTube data into your own code.
