What the index holds for a channel

GET /v1/channels/{channel_id}/coverage

How many videos of a YouTube channel are searchable, the newest publish date among them, and the split by transcript source class. Call it when a search or mention lookup came back empty, before telling anyone we do not cover a show, and cite indexed_through as the as-of date for mentions and search_indexed_through for transcript search. It cannot request indexing; channel backfill is not available yet. Free; uses no credits. Every gate is a typed error whose error.unlock.url names the plan that lifts it; pass src=mcp-tool only from the Arcmira MCP server.
