Search queries

searchQueries

Required

Free-text YouTube search terms used to find public channels, for example 'personal finance' or 'fitness coach'. Each query is searched independently and unique channels are merged. Prefills one example query. This is not a channel URL or @handle — for a known channel use youtube-channel-scraper.

Type:string[]

Example:

[
  "fitness coach",
  "indie game developer"
]

YouTube results URLs

searchUrls

Optional

Optional youtube.com/results URLs that already contain a search_query, for example 'https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lofi'. The Actor extracts the keyword and runs a channel-only search. Defaults to empty. This is not a /channel or @handle URL.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Example:

[
  "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=personal+finance"
]

Max channels per query

maxResultsPerQuery

Optional

Maximum unique channels saved for each search query after pagination. Example: 10. Range 1–200; default 10. This is not a global run cap — see maxResultsTotal.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:200

Default:10

Example:

Max channels per run

maxResultsTotal

Optional

Hard cap on unique channels billed and saved across every query in this run. Example: 50. Range 1–500; default 50. Extra matches after the cap are skipped. This is not the per-query limit.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:500

Default:50

Example:

Minimum subscribers

minSubscribers

Optional

Keep channels whose public subscriber count is at least this number, for example 10000. Default 0 (no floor). Channels that hide subscriber counts are kept. This is not a YouTube API quota.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:1000000000

Default:0

Example:

Maximum subscribers

maxSubscribers

Optional

Keep channels whose public subscriber count is at most this number, for example 1000000. Default 0 means no ceiling. Hidden counts are kept. This is not a billing cap.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:1000000000

Default:0

Example:

Verified channels only

verifiedOnly

Optional

When true, keep only search cards that show YouTube's verified badge. Default false returns verified and unverified public channels. This does not confirm official brand ownership beyond the public badge.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Example:

false

Country (gl)

country

Optional

Two-letter ISO country code used as YouTube geo context (gl) and residential proxy country, for example 'US' or 'GB'. Defaults to 'US'. This is not a language code — see language.

Type:string

Default:US

Example:

Language (hl)

language

Optional

Two-letter ISO language code used as YouTube interface language (hl), for example 'en' or 'es'. Defaults to 'en'. This is not a country code — see country.

Type:string

Default:en

Example:

Enrich channel profiles

enrichProfiles

Optional

When true, each found channel is fetched for About-page fields (description, total views, joined date, country, links) and billed as one extra channel-enriched event. Default false returns search-card fields only. Leave off for cheap discovery.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Example:

false

Managed fallback mode

fallbackMode

Optional

Controls when the managed fallback runs after direct YouTube HTTP. 'auto' (default) uses residential YouTube first and falls back only if blocked. 'never' stays on direct HTTP. 'always' skips direct scraping. This is not a proxy group setting.

Type:string

Default:auto

Options:

autoneveralways

Proxy configuration

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Proxy settings for the direct YouTube HTTP scrape. Residential proxies are enabled by default because datacenter IPs are blocked. Country follows the country field unless overridden. This is not the managed fallback.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": [
    "RESIDENTIAL"
  ]
}
