Scrape Odysee (LBRY) without an account. Video search, channel uploads, full video metadata, and new-upload monitoring — all through Odysee's own public LBRY API. No API key, no login, no scraping workarounds.
Odysee is the largest decentralized video platform — millions of videos, a strong crypto/tech commentary community, and no official data export for researchers. This actor fills that gap.
What it does
| Mode | Output |
|---|---|
search | Videos matching any keyword — newest first, with channel, duration, tags, thumbnails |
channel | Channel profile (title, description, subscriber proxy stats) + latest uploads |
video | Full metadata for specific video URLs — duration, language, license, media type |
watch | New-upload detection: keywords and/or channels + releasedAfter timestamp — the scheduled-monitoring primitive |
Input examples
Keyword search:
{ "mode": "search", "query": "bitcoin", "maxResults": 100 }
Channel profile + uploads:
{ "mode": "channel", "channelUrl": "odysee.com/@veritasium", "maxResults": 20 }
Bulk video metadata:
{ "mode": "video", "videoUrls": ["lbry://@samtime#f/episode-name#a", "odysee.com/@channel:f/video-title:8"] }
Monitor channels + keywords for new uploads (run hourly via Apify Schedules):
{"mode": "watch","queries": ["crypto", "privacy"],"channelUrls": ["odysee.com/@veritasium", "lbry://@samtime"],"releasedAfter": 1759000000,"maxResults": 50}
Output example
{"recordType": "search_result","claimId": "79f4b85922347dec67af0de7ba040e50d3df4354","name": "bitcoin-will-not-wait-for-you","title": "Bitcoin will NOT wait for you","description": "...","odyseeUrl": "https://odysee.com/@CryptoVigilante:f/bitcoin-will-not-wait-for-you:2","streamType": "video","mediaType": "video/mp4","durationSeconds": 3704,"tags": ["bitcoin", "crypto"],"thumbnailUrl": "https://thumbs.odycdn.com/...","channelName": "CryptoVigilante","channelClaimId": "80c9147abaf...","publishedAt": 1758636000}
Why scheduled monitoring matters
Odysee hosts content that gets removed from mainstream platforms — researchers tracking disinformation, crypto commentary, or niche creators need alerts when tracked channels upload. Pair watch with releasedAfter = last-run timestamp and an Apify Schedule for a self-maintaining alert pipeline.
Pricing
$1 per 1,000 results ($0.001 per dataset row).
Notes & limitations
- Uses Odysee's own public proxy API (
api.na-backend.odysee.com) — the same backend the website calls. Keyless, but be reasonable with request volume. - View/like counts are not exposed by the API; engagement metrics aren't available.
release_timeon some content is a far-future sentinel —publishedAt(creation timestamp) is more reliable for monitoring.
