Paste a list of YouTube URLs and get back a clean metadata table — one row per video, in the
order you supplied. Accepts watch URLs, youtu.be share links, Shorts links and bare
11-character video IDs, mixed freely in the same list.
No API key. No YouTube Data API quota. No browser automation.
Every input reconciles
Videos that are private, removed or region-blocked come back as rows with ok: false and a
plain-English error, tagged with the exact string you supplied in input. A 500-URL input
always produces 500 rows, so you can join results straight back onto your source list without
hunting for silent drops.

view_count and duration_seconds are real numbers, not display strings — sort and filter them
directly.

What people use it for
- Enriching a video list you already have from search, a spreadsheet or another scraper.
- Content audits — pull
categoryandkeywordsacross a whole back catalogue. - Competitive tracking — re-run the same URL list on a schedule and diff
view_count. - Channel benchmarking — resolve every video URL from a competitor's catalogue and compare
view_countagainstduration_secondsandpublish_date.
Export
Results land in a standard Apify dataset: CSV, JSON, Excel or XML download, or straight from the API.
Notes
- Metadata comes from the same internal endpoint the YouTube player itself calls, so it matches what a signed-out visitor sees and stays stable when page markup changes.
- This Actor returns metadata only. It does not download video or audio, and it does not fetch transcripts — YouTube gates caption fetching behind a proof-of-origin token, and no workaround ships here.
