What does YouTube Scraper do?

It extracts YouTube video data from search results, channels, playlists or video URLs, including Shorts and live streams:

📊 Exact views, likes and comment count
📅 Exact upload date, duration, full description and hashtags
📺 Channel name, ID, handle, subscriber count and verified badge
🔎 Search with filters: sort by views, upload date (last hour, today, this week, this month, this year)
🎬 Channel tabs: Videos, Shorts or Live streams, newest first
⚡ Fast mode for big lists: title, approximate views, relative date and duration
💲 $3 per 1,000 videos with full details, or $1.50 per 1,000 in fast mode. Unavailable videos are free.
