Scrape public Community Posts from any channel: post text, visible reactions, images and multi-image galleries, video attachments, polls, and optional comments. Unavailable channels produce a structured status row instead of empty or fabricated output.
What this actor does
- Channel posts: text, images, polls, videos, and shared content
- Engagement: like counts and comment counts per post
- Optional comments: fetch the comment threads under each post
- Bulk channels: multiple channels per run
- Empty fields are omitted — records only contain values that are actually populated.
Output
Each post row contains postId, channelId, channelHandle, contentText, publishedTimeText, voteCountText, commentCountText, images[], videoAttachments[], poll, and optional comments[]. Channels without public posts produce a recordType: "status" row with status: "no_public_posts".

FAQ
What is the Community tab?
YouTube's social feed on a channel where creators post text, images, polls, and videos outside the regular upload feed.
Why do some channels return no posts?
Not every channel uses the Community tab; a status message explains when none are available.
Do I need cookies?
No. Posts are read from public channel pages.
Can I get comments on posts?
Yes — enable includeComments and set maxComments.
