What you get

One flat, ready-to-use record per Short:

Field	Description
`query`	The keyword / hashtag that produced the row
`videoId` / `url`	The Short and its watch link
`title`	Short title / caption
`viewCount` / `viewCountText`	Views (number + label)
`thumbnail`	Thumbnail image URL
`collectedAt`	When the row was scraped

How to use

1. Add keywords or hashtags

{
  "searchQueries": ["lofi", "#cooking", "workout"],
  "maxItems": 200
}

2. Set the limit

Max Shorts — cap the total across all keywords (0 = no limit; the scraper pages deep into the Shorts results).

Example output

{
  "query": "cooking",
  "videoId": "ADUTUY2Gff0",
  "title": "This Is How To Cook Steak Perfectly 🔥 #shorts",
  "url": "https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ADUTUY2Gff0",
