YouTube Channel & Video Scraper

Collect YouTube video data at scale from search results, a channel's uploads, playlists or specific videos. Each row has the exact view count, likes, publish date, length, tags, description, thumbnail and the channel's subscriber count. Use it for influencer and competitor research, trend tracking and AI datasets.

Run it on Apify

What it does

  • Search queries (sorted by relevance, date, views or rating), channels, playlists and single videos in one run
  • Exact views, likes, publish date, tags and channel subscribers on every row
  • Skip low-view videos with a minimum-views filter; skipped and unavailable videos are not billed
  • Residential proxies, IP rotation and a second slower pass for throttled videos
