Sponsorship Analyzer FAQ
Everything you need to know about YouTube Promo Finder
How does YouTube Promo Finder work?
We use the official YouTube Data API to fetch video metadata from any public channel. Our algorithm scans video descriptions from the last 12 months, extracting and categorizing all external links, affiliate codes, and promotional URLs. Results are grouped by domain and sorted by frequency.
Is this tool really free?
Each browser gets one free research search. After that, fresh sponsor, domain, collaboration, comparison, and unlisted scans use credits. No signup is required, and cached repeat lookups do not consume credits.
What kind of promotions can you detect?
We detect any external links in video descriptions, including: affiliate links (Amazon, Impact, ShareASale), sponsored product links, brand landing pages, creator discount codes, equipment links, social media promotions, and referral URLs. We cannot detect spoken sponsorships or on-screen promotions that aren't linked in the description.
Why am I seeing a "quota exceeded" error?
YouTube limits API usage per day. Our tool shares this quota across all users. If you see this error, it means the daily limit has been reached. The quota resets at midnight Pacific Time, so please try again tomorrow. We display the current quota status at the top of the page.
Can I export the data?
Absolutely! After running an analysis, you'll see export buttons for both CSV and JSON formats. CSV is great for spreadsheets like Excel or Google Sheets, while JSON is perfect for developers or further data processing.
How far back does the analysis go?
We analyze the last 12 months of video uploads from any channel. This gives you a comprehensive view of recent sponsorship activity while keeping the analysis fast and API-efficient.
