## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## YouTube Channel Videos, First Page

Export the visible initial video list of a public YouTube channel. Unofficial and not affiliated with YouTube.

### When to use it

Use this YouTube channel videos scraper to collect the first visible page of video IDs, titles and positions from channels you already know. It is useful for a quick channel catalog or page-level comparison, with no claim to a complete upload history.

### Input

Provide 1–5 URLs ending in `/videos` under `youtube.com/@handle` or `youtube.com/channel/UC...`. A channel is fetched once per run.

### Output

One `type=video_listing` row per validated video in the initial HTML page: videoId, title, canonical videoUrl, channelId, channelTitle, channelUrl, one-based visible position and fetchedAt. Row count varies with the page; it is commonly about 30.

### Pricing

$0.0008 per exported video row, billed once through the primary `channel-video-extracted` event. No actor-start or secondary event. Rows are charged only when delivered to the dataset.

### Limits

Only the initial video tab page is read. No pagination, continuation, full channel history, fixed row count or guaranteed newest order. At most 5 pages plus one robots request, 30-second page timeout, at least 2 seconds between YouTube requests, 120-second run budget. Blocks and structure changes fail explicitly; zero rows are never a successful result.

### Privacy

Only public video IDs/titles and channel metadata are returned. Descriptions, comments, contacts, cookies, faces, images, transcripts and raw page markup are excluded.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("jpmarketdata/youtube-channel-videos-first-page").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("jpmarketdata/youtube-channel-videos-first-page").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call jpmarketdata/youtube-channel-videos-first-page --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,jpmarketdata/youtube-channel-videos-first-page"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
