Recommended pricing: $0.50 per 1,000 videos ($0.0005 per result), with a small Actor start event. This follows the low-entry, high-volume pattern used by top social/video scrapers.
Notes
This Actor uses publicly available YouTube surfaces and an unofficial InnerTube client. YouTube can change its internal APIs, so high availability depends on active maintenance. If a channel blocks web access or a handle cannot be resolved, the failed input is saved in the ERRORS key-value record.
