This script solves this problem by extracting channel statistics in live time from there official youtube channel pages.
## :warning: VERY IMPORTANT:warning:

By using the script, you automatically accept that you yourself are criminally responsible for yourself and you are aware that it violates the guidelines.
## How does it work?
Just put the files on your Http Server and call the script like this:
```php
http:///get_channel_statistics.php?id=UC-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw
```
Example Output in JSON:
```json
[{
"channelID":"UC-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw",
"viewCount":"21082625429",
"subscriberCount":"93689562",
"latestVideoID":"bRG6sy3VaWU"
}]
```
## Example Functions
