Discover the phrases YouTube shows in its public search autocomplete. Enter one or more seed keywords and get clean, ranked suggestions that can be used for SEO research, video planning, audience research, and content discovery.

This actor uses YouTube's public autocomplete response. It does not require a YouTube account, API key, cookies, or a paid proxy.

What this actor does

  • Autocomplete lookup: pass one or more seed phrases and get YouTube's own suggestions
  • Ready search URLs: every suggestion includes a searchUrl you can feed to a search scraper
  • Market and language aware: localized suggestions per country and language
  • Bulk queries: multiple seeds are processed in one run
  • Empty fields are omitted — records only contain values that are actually populated.

Output

One row is returned for every suggestion:

FieldDescription
suggestionThe exact phrase returned by YouTube autocomplete.
inputQueryThe seed keyword that produced the suggestion.
rankPosition within that seed keyword's returned list.
languageLanguage used for the request.
marketCountry or region used for the request.
searchUrlYouTube search URL for the suggestion when enabled.

All emitted fields contain real public values. Empty suggestions are discarded rather than emitted as blank rows.
