FAQ

Do I need a YouTube API key? No. There are no API quotas to worry about.

Are view counts accurate? They are parsed from YouTube's own search page (e.g. "1.2M views" → 1200000).

Can I scrape multiple keywords at once? Yes — pass several terms in searchQueries.

Why enable proxy? YouTube sometimes shows a consent wall; Apify Proxy avoids it.
