# List YouTube Creators

> List YouTube channels cited in AI answers for a website, ordered by citations (unknown channel last). Includes channel citation shares, category and video-length breakdowns, and metadata availability. Totals and breakdowns cover the full filtered result, independent of pagination. Use get_youtube_videos with channel_key to list a creator's videos. Reads saved metadata; pending or missing details remain null. Dates are inclusive UTC days. Counts cover citations in Athena-tracked AI answers, not YouTube views or subscriber analytics. Metadata is read from Athena’s saved cache and may be unavailable. Channel share uses all YouTube citations, including non-video links; category and length shares use video citations. Video citation_percentage is the percentage of distinct filtered AI responses citing that video. first_seen is within the selected date range. The completed breakdown, including citation metrics and saved metadata, is cached for up to five minutes.
