What this tool does
This tool reads the tag field of any public YouTube video through the official API and shows you exactly what the uploader set. Paste up to twenty URLs at once and you get a table of every video with its tags, hashtags and view count, plus a CSV export.
How to use it
- Paste one URL per line — watch links, youtu.be links, /shorts/ links, /embed/ links and bare video IDs all work.
- Press Extract. Results come back in one API call for the whole batch.
- Copy the combined tag list, or download the CSV with one row per video.
Limits you should know about
- Private, deleted and age-restricted videos return nothing, because the API returns nothing for them.
- Many large channels leave the tag field empty. An empty result usually means an empty field, not a failure.
- Twenty URLs per request, and sixty requests an hour per IP address. That is instead of a login wall, not in addition to one.
- Tags are cached for 24 hours per video ID, so re-checking the same video is instant and costs no quota.
Questions people ask
Can I see the tags of any YouTube video?
Any public one, yes — tags are part of the public video resource in the YouTube Data API. Private and deleted videos return nothing to anyone, including us.
Why does this video show no tags?
Because the uploader did not set any. That is very common on large channels, which rely on the title, description and thumbnail instead.
How many videos can I check at once?
Twenty per request. There is no account and no payment step; the limit exists so one script cannot exhaust the shared API quota for everyone.
Do you save the URLs I paste?
We record that the tool was used and from which country, the same as every other tool here. The URLs themselves are not stored.
Is there an API?
Yes: /api/v1/tags?url=… returns the same data as JSON, with no key, 100 requests an hour per IP and CORS open so it works from a browser.
Everything here reads live data from the YouTube Data API.
No account is needed for anything on this site.
