Parameters3

channelrequiredIn · PathType · stringChannel handle, with or without the @: the name in a channel URL. If you pass channelId, this is ignored and any placeholder works.
channelIdIn · QueryType · stringLook up the channel by its UC… ID instead of its handle. If you already have the ID (e.g. from a video's attributedTo in another response), passing it here returns the channel faster than a handle lookup. When set, it overrides the handle in the URL.
cursorIn · QueryType · stringPagination cursor
