YouTube Video Statistics Checker

Paste a video URL. Get views, likes, comments, engagement rate, tags, and performance context.

YouTube Region Restriction Checker

Some YouTube videos are blocked in certain countries due to licensing agreements, government requests, or uploader settings. The region restriction data is part of YouTube's API response for each video.

How to check

Paste any video URL in the tool above. If the video has region restrictions, they'll appear under "Region restrictions" with the full list of blocked or allowed countries. If nothing shows up, the video is available everywhere.

Why videos get blocked

Music videos are the most commonly restricted. Record labels have different licensing deals per country, so a music video might be available in the US but blocked in Germany. Some uploaders also manually restrict their videos to specific regions.

YouTube Description Extractor

The tool above shows the full video description and lets you copy it. Useful for analyzing a competitor's description structure, pulling out links they've included, or studying their keyword placement. The description text comes directly from YouTube's API, including all formatting and links.

YouTube Views-to-Likes Ratio

The views-to-likes ratio shows how many viewers liked the video. A ratio of 4% means 4 out of every 100 viewers hit the like button. The average across YouTube is 3-5%. Educational content tends to get higher ratios (viewers feel they learned something), while music and entertainment tend to be lower (background listening, less active engagement).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see the dislike count?
No. YouTube removed public dislike counts from their API in November 2021. The dislike button still exists and YouTube tracks dislikes internally, but the count is no longer available to anyone except the video uploader in YouTube Studio.
What is a good engagement rate for a YouTube video?

We calculate engagement rate as (likes + comments) / views × 100. A rate of 4-6% is solid for most niches. Above 8% is exceptional and usually means a small, active audience.

Viral videos often have low engagement rates (millions of views but relatively fewer likes/comments) because casual viewers don't interact. A video with 10K views and 8% engagement is performing better in terms of audience connection than a viral hit with 1M views and 0.5%.

What are YouTube video tags?

Tags are hidden keywords that uploaders set for each video. They're not visible on the YouTube watch page, but they're in the page source and available through the API. This tool shows them.

Tags used to be a major ranking factor. Today they carry less weight than title, description, and thumbnail, but they still help YouTube understand what a video is about, especially for misspellings and alternative terms.

Where does the "performance context" comparison come from?
We fetch the channel's total view count and video count, then calculate their average views per video. We compare this video's view count against that average. It's a rough indicator since it includes all videos in the average, not just recent ones, but it gives you a quick sense of whether this video over- or under-performed for this channel.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Paste a video URL, click Analyze. No account, no extension, no email. The tool runs in your browser and fetches data through our server-side API proxy.
