YouTube Video + Channel Enriched Scraper 🎬
Extract detailed YouTube video metadata plus channel “About” text & social links — with human-readable counters.
Built for Apify Actors using the Python SDK. Reads input with Actor.get_input() and writes dataset items with Actor.push_data(). ([Apify Documentation][1])
Features ✅
- Works with single videos or playlists (process all or a range of items).
- Enriches video data with channel About text and first TikTok / Instagram / X links found on the channel profile. ([Google Help][2])

1.4M) alongside raw numbers.
