YouTube Search Scraper

Collect video results from YouTube search at scale — by any search query.

The YouTube Search Scraper extracts structured video data from YouTube search results: titles, descriptions, view counts, durations, publish times, channel badges, and thumbnails. It's built for content strategists, market researchers, trend analysts, and anyone monitoring the creator economy.

⚡ Quick start

{
  "search": ["AI tools 2024", "productivity apps", "startup marketing"],
  "maxVideos": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}

Use RESIDENTIAL proxy group for best results.

Each query runs independently, and every matching video is saved as its own dataset record.

`search`	array	yes	—	One or more search terms to look up on YouTube. Each query is scraped independently.
