YouTube MonetizationChecker - Is this channel earning?
youtube.com/watch - youtu.be - @channel - /shorts
Multi-signal detection
Checks ad placements, heartbeat, join buttons, subscriber count, and more.
Restricted video support
Uses the configured worker signals to improve checks on limited videos.
Confidence scoring
Every result includes a score and confidence level so you know how reliable it is.
How accurate is the monetization checker?
The checker uses multiple public YouTube signals returned by your configured worker. For many public videos it can provide a strong estimate, but some private, new, restricted, or regional videos may return limited data.
Can I check a YouTube channel instead of a video?
Yes. Paste a channel URL when your Cloudflare worker supports channel checks, and the result will display the channel-level signals returned by the API.
What does likely monetized mean?
Likely monetized means strong positive signals were found, but the worker could not confirm every signal with complete certainty.
Why is the result unknown for some videos?
Some videos return very few public signals. This can happen with new uploads, private videos, region limits, or videos where YouTube does not expose enough data.
