YouTube Search Scraper - Results with Date & Duration Filters

Scrape YouTube search results for any keyword with the same filters as the site, without an API key and without quota. Type keywords, choose the order (relevance, rating, upload date, views), the upload date (last hour, today, this week, month, year) and the duration (short, medium, long) and get one row per video with title, channel, views, date, duration, thumbnail and snippet, up to 500 videos per query. Schedule it and new videos matching your keywords are flagged: content research, trend tracking, competitor monitoring and lead lists of creators at $0.001 per video.

The Actor uses YouTube's internal web API (the one the site uses), through rotating IPs, so there is no daily quota.

What you get

Video (one row each): id, url, title, channelId, channelName, channelUrl, durationText, durationSeconds, viewsText, views, publishedText, publishedAt (approximate, from the relative text), thumbnailUrl, description (snippet), isLive, position.

Search: query, sortBy, uploadDate, duration.

Changes on scheduled runs: isNew is true for videos that were not in the results of the previous run.

How to use it

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Add Search queries, one per line (up to 500 per run).
3. Choose Sort by, Upload date and Duration if you want to narrow the results, and the Max videos per query.
4. Click Start and export the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel.
