YouTube Channel Scraper — Videos, Views & Stats

Export a YouTube channel's entire video catalog plus its channel stats. Paste one or more channel links (or @handles), pick Videos, Shorts or Live streams, and get one clean row per video — title, URL, view count, published date, duration and thumbnail — alongside a channel summary with subscriber count, total videos and description. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull straight from the API.

Perfect for creator and competitor analysis, influencer research, content tracking, media monitoring, trend analysis, and building video datasets for dashboards or LLMs.

    "@mkbhd"
  ],
  "tab": "videos",
  "includeChannelInfo": true,
  "maxItems": 500
