About Banner.tf
Banner.tf is a utility to quickly and easily hotlink banners from YouTube channels anywhere.
JSON is provided as a useful debug utility, using our service as an alternative to YouTube APIs is frowned upon.
All images are cached in a storage bucket with a 24 hour retention policy. If you change your banner it will take up to a day to update if already cached.
Note: EasyList blocks .*/banner. because they think everything starting with banner. is an ad. Use www. so images don't get blocked.

Why We Added Banner tf
YouTube took away channel banners from their API for a short time, we're taking them back! Easily regain access to banners by appending a channel ID to the end of the URL.
