# Rumble Channel API Beta Returns a public Rumble channel or user: Rumble's own ID for it (the one Rumble's video data names the uploader by) and its name, display name, description, avatar, banner, verification badge, the social links it lists with their labels, its join date, follower count and exact video and lifetime view counts, and which kind of account it is with the ID of the user who owns it. Accepts a channel or user name, any channel or user link with any tab, or a channel's ID.

A bare name is looked up as a channel first, then as a user; send c/\ or user/\ to choose. platform_specific.rumble.account_type says which one answered. > - id is Rumble's own reference: _c\ for a channel, _u\ for a user, the same string rumble.post and rumble.search_posts return as author.id. Channels and users are numbered separately (platform_specific.rumble.numeric_id), so only id is unambiguous. A channel's id is accepted as handle; a user's is not (send its name). > - username is a channel's name as Rumble spells it, or user/\ for a user (a bare name is looked up as a channel first), the same as author.username on rumble.post and rumble.search_posts, so it can be sent back as handle. > - metrics.follower_count is the count the page header shows: from a thousand up it is cut to three significant figures (a floor: it can be under the real count, never over; listed in approximate_fields). Video and view counts are exact. > - created_at is the start, in UTC, of the day Rumble shows as the join date (listed in approximate_fields): Rumble shows the day only. > - type is unknown, location, country_code and category are null, and metrics.following_count and metrics.total_like_count are null: Rumble does not show them. is_private is false: Rumble has no private accounts. > - Names that are no channel or user answer not_found.
