Google Videos Scraper

Search Google's video results and collect links from across the web in one dataset. Find tutorials, product demonstrations and topical coverage, with source and video details that help you choose what to watch or investigate next.

What you get

• Video result links: titles and URLs, with available source, channel, duration and date metadata.
• Search controls: choose country, interface language, location and result page.
• Structured export: one result per row, ready for JSON, CSV or retrieval through the Apify API.

Use it for video content research, competitor discovery or finding explanations across different publishing sites.

Example output

The Google Videos results dataset contains returned video-search results. This example is illustrative, not a live result:

{
  "query": "battery recycling process",
  "position": 1,
  "title": "Example battery recycling walkthrough",
  "link": "https://example.com/video",
  "duration": "5:00",
  "source": "Example Video Site",
  "channel": "Example Science",
  "date": "1 month ago",
  "request_id": "req_example"
}

Duration and date values retain the provider's format; fields may be absent. Complete response and status preserves the full returned JSON and usage information.

Pricing

Requests use your FlashData Credits at your applicable account rate. This Actor adds no service fee. Apify compute, storage and other platform usage are billed separately under your Apify plan.

FAQ

Is this the same as searching directly on YouTube?

No. It queries Google Videos, which can include YouTube and other sites. Use YouTube Search when you want YouTube's own search results.

Does it download videos or provide transcripts?

It returns links and metadata. Downloading media or retrieving captions requires a separate tool.

Are all fields present for every video?

No. A result may omit duration, channel or date. The full response preserves any additional fields returned by the provider.

Does it track newly published videos automatically?

Each run is independent. It does not maintain a history or remove results seen in earlier runs.

What if a run fails?

Check key permissions and Credits for authentication errors. After a timeout or interruption, inspect Complete response and status and FlashData Jobs/usage before starting again: the request may already have been charged. A new run can create another charge.
