YouTube Trending Videos Finder

YouTube, as we know, is a colossal platform with millions of videos uploaded daily. But have you ever wondered how to find out which videos from a particular channel are really making waves? This tool does just that! It allows you to track and discover trending videos from any YouTube channel with ease.

What does YouTube Trending Videos Finder do?

This scraper helps you extract popular videos from a specific YouTube channel, including:

• Retrieves trending videos based on view counts, likes, comments, and other engagement metrics.
• Filters videos by date range or category to ensure relevant results.
• Provides detailed information for each video: title, view count, like count, comment count, upload date, and video URL.
• Optimizes data retrieval to ensure you get the latest trending videos efficiently.

How many results can you scrape?

The current version of the YouTube Trending Videos Finder can return up to 500 results per search query. However, various factors affect the maximum number of results, including channel size and engagement level. For your use case, it’s recommended to run a test to determine the ideal parameters.

Pricing

This scraper uses a cost-per-result model, meaning you only pay for the successful results retrieved. The price is $1.00 per 1,000 results. For a typical result of 500 trending videos, the estimated cost would be $0.50.
