YouTube Gaming Page Scraper

Collect current video cards from YouTube's first-party Gaming page. The Actor preserves page section and order; it does not claim the records are a global or country-wide gaming-trends ranking.

It reads YouTube's embedded page data and follows a bounded number of first-party youtubei browse continuations with native HTTP. This removes the browser/scroll dependency while preserving renderer evidence and optional proxy routing.

Input

FieldDefaultDescription
maxItems30Maximum unique video records to write (1–50).
maxContinuationRequests3First-party continuation request cap (0–5).
countryCodeUSTwo-letter country code passed to YouTube as gl.
localeen-USLanguage-country locale passed to YouTube as hl and request headers.
proxyConfigurationOptional Apify/custom proxy configuration. Direct requests are the default.

Output

Records contain only values present in the YouTube renderer, plus deterministic identifiers and scrape context. Depending on the card, this can include:

  • rank, section, videoId, url, title, description, and thumbnailUrl
  • channelName, channelId, and channelUrl
  • viewCountText, parsed viewCount, publishedTimeText, duration
  • isLive, liveStatus, badges, plus game/category labels only when YouTube supplies them
  • countryCode, locale, source, sourcePage, sourceSearchUrl, and scrapedAt

Nulls, blank strings, empty arrays/objects, and non-finite values are removed. The run is atomic: request, configuration, continuation, and zero-result failures occur before any dataset write.

Notes

  • YouTube controls the exact content and ordering of /gaming; it can change by time, country, locale, and signed-out session.
  • Use a modest maxItems and optional Residential proxy configuration when operating at scale.
