YouTube Channel Videos Scraper for developers and AI pipelines

YouTube Channel Videos Scraper for developers and AI pipelines — list all videos of any YouTube channel as clean JSON: video IDs, titles, view counts, durations, upload dates, and thumbnails. Bulk, no API key, newest first.

The official YouTube Data API caps you at strict quotas and requires keys and OAuth. This actor reads the public channel pages directly through a hosted residential-proxy + uptime layer with automatic retries — and you only pay for video records actually delivered.

What it does

Give it channels as @handles (@mkbhd), full URLs, or UC… channel IDs and it returns one row per video:

• videoId, title, url, thumbnail
• viewCount (parsed number) + viewsText
• durationSeconds + durationText
• publishedText (e.g. "3 days ago")
• channelId, channelTitle, position

Thousands of videos per channel, paginated automatically, newest first.

The RAG pipeline combo

This actor is step one of a full channel-ingestion pipeline:

1. List every video in a channel with this actor
2. Feed the videoIds to the YouTube Transcript Scraper for transcripts / RAG chunks
3. Optionally add audience data with the YouTube Comments Scraper

Point it at a channel, get a complete, timestamped knowledge base out.

Use cases

• RAG / LLM ingestion — enumerate a channel before pulling transcripts
• Channel analytics — views/durations across a creator's catalog
• Competitor research — what they publish, how often, what performs
• Archival & monitoring — track new uploads programmatically
