Cost
This scraper uses HTTP requests instead of a browser, keeping costs minimal. A typical run scraping 100 results costs less than $0.05 in platform credits.
Limitations
- YouTube returns approximately 20 results per page. For larger result counts, the scraper automatically paginates.
- Some filters may return fewer results than requested if YouTube doesn't have enough matching content.
- No authentication or cookies are required — the scraper works with publicly available search results only.
