YouTube Shorts

Extract public YouTube Shorts from either a channel's Shorts tab or a Shorts-only keyword search.

Input

  • mode: channel or search.
  • inputs: 1–20 channel IDs/@handles/channel URLs, or 1–20 search keywords depending on mode.
  • maxShorts: maximum unique Shorts per input, up to 1000.

Output

Each successful row contains source type, search query when applicable, channel identity when available, video ID, canonical /shorts/ URL, title, view-count text, and retrieval timestamp.

Billing

PPE event: short-result.

Each Short is charged only after its dataset row is successfully written. A hard source-level failure writes one diagnostic FAILED row and produces no PPE event. The Actor code does not add a separate start charge.

Scope

This Actor focuses only on channel/search → Shorts. It does not return generic long-form search results, transcripts, comments, or playlist catalogs.

Reliability and cost controls

  • maxShorts limits each source; maxTotalResults limits the whole run (default 1,000, maximum 10,000).
  • Temporary provider failures are retried once. A later-page failure preserves earlier Short rows and reports a partial result.
  • Rows are charged only after storage. Failed/skipped sources and retries are free.

Family recipes

Use Shorts for channel- or keyword-based short-form research; combine with Search for discovery and Transcript or Comments for deeper analysis of selected videos.
