Search queries

searchQueries

Optional

Keywords to search YouTube for, one per line, for example "lofi hip hop" or "python tutorial". Each query returns up to Max videos. Leave empty if you only want channel videos. An empty result usually means the query genuinely has no matches.

Type:array

Channel URLs / handles

channelUrls

Optional

YouTube channels to pull videos from, one per line. Accepts full channel URLs (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/@LofiGirl, https://www.youtube.com/c/ChannelName, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSJ4gkVC6NrvII8umztf0Ow), @handles (e.g. @LofiGirl), or raw UC channel ids (e.g. UCSJ4gkVC6NrvII8umztf0Ow). Each channel returns up to Max of its newest videos.

Type:array

YouTube links

startUrls

Optional

Optional. Paste YouTube links, or upload a text file or a Google Sheet of them. A search results link runs that search with the filters in the link. A playlist link gives its videos, up to Max. A channel link works like the channel field. Single video links are not read.

Type:array

Max videos per query / channel

maxItems

Optional

Maximum videos per search query, per channel and per playlist. A few hundred is realistic. Very large values take much longer and are likelier to come back short. 0 skips searches, playlists and the channels' Videos tab, for runs that only want Shorts, past streams or channel profiles.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:1000

Default:50

Add channel facts to search rows

includeChannelFacts

Optional

Adds each channel's subscriber count, video count, banner and handle to search and playlist rows. It reads each channel's page once, so a run with many channels takes longer. Channel rows always carry these. Off by default.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Comment count (optional add-on)

includeCommentCount

Optional

Optional add-on. Adds each video's comment count as YouTube shows it (rounded, like 4.1K) and whether comments are turned off.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Channel profiles only (optional add-on)

Optional add-on. Each channel gives one row about the channel, with no videos: subscribers, video count, total views, joined date, country, description, links, avatar and banner.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Upload date

Optional

Only search results uploaded in this period. Applies to search queries.

Default:any

Options:

anyhourtodayweekmonthyear

Length

duration

Optional

Only search results of this length. Short is under 3 minutes, medium 3 to 20 minutes, long over 20 minutes. Live streams have no length, so a length filter leaves them out.

Type:string

Default:any

Options:

anyshortmediumlong

Features

Two-letter country code the search is made for, such as US, DE or BR. Leave empty for US.

Type:string

Search language

searchLanguage

Optional

Language code for the search, such as en, de or pt-BR. Leave empty for English. In another language YouTube writes views and dates in that language, so viewCount and the other numbers worked out from that text come back empty.

Type:string

Channel videos order

channelSort

Optional

Which of a channel's videos come first: the newest, the most viewed, or the oldest. Applies to the Videos tab.

Type:string

Default:latest

Options:

latestpopularoldest

Notion connector (optional)

notionConnector

Optional

Optional. Write each video as a page into your Notion when the run finishes. Authorize a Notion connector once in Settings → API & Integrations → MCP connectors, then pick it here. Leave empty to skip (default), results are always saved to the dataset regardless.

Type:string

Notion target data source ID

notionParentId

Optional

Optional. The Notion data source ID of the database to write into (only used if a Notion connector is set). Leave empty to create the pages privately in your workspace instead.

Type:string
