Pricing

You pay per video read, plus a tiny start fee. Private, removed and unavailable videos return nothing and cost nothing. Set a maximum spend per run and the Actor stops when it is reached.

Notes

• Subscriber and comment counts are rounded by YouTube (for example 2.4M). Likes and views are exact.
• Videos that could not be read are listed in the FAILED_VIDEOS record of the run's key-value store.
• The Actor reads publicly visible data. Use it in line with YouTube's terms.
