Tool details

Field	Value
Tool name	`youtube_get_channel_streams`
Platform	YouTube
REST endpoint	`GET /v1/youtube/channels/{channel}/streams`
Result type	Collection tool

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`channel`	`string`	Yes	Channel handle, with or without the `@` — the name in a channel URL. Resolving it costs one extra lookup; pass `channelId` to skip that.
`channelId`	`string`	No	The channel’s `UC…` ID. Optional: supply it when you already have it — from a previous response, for instance — and it is used directly, skipping the handle lookup.
`cursor`	`string`	No	Pagination cursor
`projection_preset`	`string`	No	Defaults to `minimal`. Allowed values: `full`, `minimal`, `identity`, `engagement`, `content`.
`data_fields`	`string[]`	No	Adds top-level keys from `data` on top of the selected `projection_preset`.
`item_fields`	`string[]`	No	Adds keys from `data.orderedItems[]` on top of the selected `projection_preset`.
