# BitChute API > Live video, channel and trend data from BitChute — the alt-tech video-sharing platform and YouTube alternative — read straight from BitChute's public web API, no key. BitChute is one of the larger free-speech video platforms, with channels holding millions of views; this exposes what is trending, who the creators are and how each video and channel is performing. The trending endpoint returns the videos trending today or this week, ranked by view count, each with its channel, duration and publish date. The search endpoint finds videos by query, sorted by views, relevance or recency — sort by views to surface the platform's genuinely most-watched content. The channel endpoint returns one channel's full profile by id: subscriber count, total channel views, video count, when it was created and its category. The video endpoint returns one video's full detail by id, including its description, hashtags, view count and channel. This is the BitChute platform cut — a distinct social/video platform, separate from the YouTube, TikTok, Odysee, Kick and other platform feeds in the catalogue. View and subscriber counts are live. Built for social-monitoring, creator-analytics, media-research and content-discovery tools. ## Authentication All requests require your oanor API key in the `x-oanor-key` header.
