How to tell if channel is a YouTube Partner from the API?

There are a few features listed ( such as custom thumbnails ) in the YouTube API that require a channel to be in the YouTube Partner program. Does anyone know of a way to determine if a channel is in the partner program from an api call?

I thought of doing a call to a feature such as branding that requires the partner program and catching an error code, but that seems inefficient.

The way i've doing is: Getting the URL of the latest video of the channel and parse the html code getting the tag above:

<meta name="attribution" content="NETWORKNAME"/>

If the content don't have "%2user" on that string, the channel have a network, and network name is that. Would be nice if we had these data in the Youtube API.
