Do I need a YouTube API key to use these tools?
No. You do not need a YouTube API key as a user. Softstribe's tools use a secure server-side proxy so the API key is never exposed. Just paste a YouTube URL and the tools work instantly.
How do I check if a YouTube channel is monetized?
The Softstribe YouTube Monetization Checker looks up a channel's subscriber count and checks whether it meets YouTube Partner Program requirements (1,000+ subscribers). Note: watch hours cannot be verified via the public API, so this is an indicative check based on subscriber threshold.
