Pricing

Public YouTube video data from search terms, channels and video links.
What you would type into YouTube search, one per line. Each term returns up to "Max results" videos in YouTube's own result order (Shorts included). A term YouTube finds nothing for is reported with partialReason "no_results" and is not charged.
One channel per line: youtube.com/@handle, youtube.com/channel/UC..., /c/Name, /user/Name, a bare @handle or a bare UC... channel ID. Each channel returns up to "Max results" of its most recent videos from the Videos tab, newest first. A handle that does not exist is reported with partialReason "not_found" and is not charged.
One video per line: a watch link (youtube.com/watch?v=...), youtu.be/..., a Shorts, embed or live link, or a bare 11-character video ID. The whole list is one input: at most "Max results" of these videos are collected, in the order given. A line that is not a YouTube video is reported with partialReason "invalid_input" and is not charged.
The most videos to take from each search term, from each channel, and from the video-link list as a whole. Never exceeded. A video already collected earlier in the same run is skipped and counted, not written or charged again.
Hard ceiling on the HTTP requests this run sends to YouTube, retries included. At the ceiling collection stops, a status row with partialReason "upstream_request_cap" says where, and the run ends. Leave empty and the Actor derives a ceiling from the input (at most 4 requests per video plus the listing pages), so a run is never unbounded.
The proxy used for search, channel and watch-page requests. The video-details request always goes through a residential IP, because YouTube answers datacenter IPs with its "confirm you are not a bot" check; that part is not affected by this setting.
