YOUTUBE_OPERATIONAL_API_INSTANCE_URL='https://yt.lemnoslife.com'
CHANNEL_IDS=(
    'id=UC0aMaqIs997ggjDs_Q9UYiw'

for channelId in "${CHANNEL_IDS[@]}"
do
    echo $channelId
    curl -s "$YOUTUBE_OPERATIONAL_API_INSTANCE_URL/channels?part=approval&$channelId" | jq .items[0].approval
done

Currently returns:

id=UC0aMaqIs997ggjDs_Q9UYiw
"Official Artist Channel"
id=UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA
"Verified"
handle=@korivrc
""
handle=@evie
"Verified"
id=UCt5USYpzzMCYhkirVQGHwKQ
""

While should be it seems:

id=UC0aMaqIs997ggjDs_Q9UYiw
"Official Artist Channel"
id=UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA
"Verified"
handle=@korivrc
"Official Artist Channel"
handle=@evie
"Verified"
id=UCt5USYpzzMCYhkirVQGHwKQ
""

should do the trick but let us make sure that @evie is correctly already working and I am not missing something.
