YouTube SEO & Trend Auditor (Metadata Scraper)

Extract high-value YouTube data without the need for complex API keys or OAuth. This Actor provides instant access to video metadata, channel insights, and keyword search results, perfect for SEO research and content strategy.

🎯 Why use this Actor?

YouTube's official API is restrictive, quota-limited, and difficult to set up. This Actor provides a lightweight, high-performance alternative, allowing you to:

  • Perform Keyword Research: Audit the top 20 videos for any search term.
  • Competitor Intelligence: Monitor channel growth, view velocity, and engagement metrics.
  • Content Gap Analysis: Identify trending topics in your niche by scanning the top-ranked results for specific keywords.

📊 What Data Do You Get?

The scraper returns clean, structured JSON:

  • videoTitle & channelName: Core identifier metadata.
  • viewCount: Raw view count (parsed).
  • subscriberCount: Channel reach (normalized K/M/B parser).
  • publishDate: ISO-8601 timestamps.
  • videoUrl: Direct deep-link to the content.

💡 Use Cases

  • SEO Audit: Feed top-ranked video titles into an LLM to generate high-performing video scripts.
  • Trend Monitoring: Track how quickly new videos in your niche are gaining views.
  • Lead Generation: Identify high-growth channels for influencer marketing.

⚡ Pricing

  • Pay Per Event: $1.00 per 1,000 results.
  • Zero Compute Waste: Pure HTTP/Cheerio architecture. No headless browser rendering.
