Using banner.yt in No-Code Tools Like Make and Zapier
How to use the banner.yt API in no-code automation tools like Make (Integromat), Zapier, n8n, and Bubble without writing any code.
banner.yt in No-Code Tools
Since the banner.yt API is plain HTTP with no authentication, it works out of the box in any no-code or automation tool that can make HTTP requests.
Make (Integromat)
- Create a new Scenario
- Add an HTTP module, choose Make a Request
- Set URL to
https://banner.yt/api/channel/UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA - Set Method to GET
- In Response, set As to JSON
- Map the output fields (title, subscriberCount, bannerUrl) to the next step
Zapier
- Add a Webhooks action
- Choose GET or Custom Request
- Paste the banner.yt API URL
- Zapier will parse the JSON response and let you map fields
n8n
Use the HTTP Request node. No credentials needed, just paste the URL and run.
{
"method": "GET",
"url": "https://banner.yt/api/channel/UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA",
"responseFormat": "json"
}
Bubble
In Bubble, go to Plugins, install the API Connector plugin, and add a new API. Set the base URL to https://banner.yt. Create a GET call to /api/channel/<channelId> with the channelId as a parameter. Bubble will auto-parse the JSON fields.
Notion and Airtable
Neither supports arbitrary HTTP calls natively, but you can use Make or Zapier to bridge them. For example: when a new row is added to Airtable with a YouTube channel ID, trigger a Make workflow that fetches the banner URL and writes it back to the Airtable row.
Use cases
- Auto-populate a Notion database with YouTube channel banners and stats
- When a new video is posted (via RSS), fetch the channel banner and post it to Slack
- Build a Zapier workflow that emails a team with updated subscriber counts weekly
- Sync channel art to a headless CMS when a campaign starts
