YouTube Video & Channel Metadata Extractor

A fast, lightweight, and cost-effective bulk extractor for YouTube video details, engagement statistics, creator channels, and hidden SEO keywords. Collect high-fidelity YouTube data at scale without official Google API quotas or expensive developer keys.

🚀 Why Use This Actor?

Zero YouTube Data API Quota Limits: Scrape tens of thousands of video and channel profiles continuously without encountering Google Cloud quota caps.
Hidden SEO & Search Tags: Extract creator-defined keyword tags not displayed directly on standard YouTube desktop pages.
Fast HTTP-Based Execution: Runs without heavy headless browser instances (Puppeteer/Playwright), delivering high scraping speeds and minimal compute overhead.
Dual Compatibility: Processes individual video links (watch?v=..., youtu.be/...) and channel handles (/@handle, /channel/UC...) seamlessly.
Export-Ready Data: Download your results directly in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or integrate automatically through the Apify REST API.

🎯 Primary Use Cases

Competitor & Content Research: Audit creator upload cadences, monitor view-to-like ratios, and identify top-performing categories.
SEO & Tag Optimization: Uncover keyword and tag combinations top-ranking videos use to rank in YouTube's recommendation engine.
Influencer & Creator Outreach: Collect verified channel handles, descriptions, and total subscriber metrics across target niches.
AI & LLM Dataset Construction: Generate structured video-text corpora for model training and content indexing pipelines.

📥 Input Configuration

Configure your run via the standard Apify Console UI or provide raw JSON input:

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`startUrls`	Array	Yes	`["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"]`	List of YouTube video or channel URLs to extract. Accepts video IDs, standard watch URLs, shortlinks, or channel handles.

  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)" },
