Why raw output?

YouTube changes its page structure often. Instead of over-parsing into a fixed schema (which breaks), the actor returns the raw ytInitialPlayerResponse plus a light summary of the most common fields. You always get the full data and can extract whatever you need.

Endpoints

POST /scrape — body {"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..."}
GET /scrape?url=... — convenience GET
GET /health — health check

Example

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/scrape \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"}'

Response:

{
  "platform": "youtube",
  "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
  "video_id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",
  "summary": {
    "title": "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Video) (4K Remaster)",
    "author": "Rick Astley",
    "view_count": 1822845880,
    "length_seconds": 213
  },
  "raw": { "...full ytInitialPlayerResponse..." },
  "scraped_at": "2026-10-04T..."
}

The actor is fully stateless — every request fetches fresh data from YouTube. No database, no cache, no Redis.
