# Track new YouTube videos on a topic (last 30 days)

**Use case:** 

See what is being published on a subject right now rather than what ranked years ago. Set a date cut-off and sort by newest, and you get this month's videos with their view counts — the fastest way to spot a trend forming or watch a competitor's output. Re-run it on a schedule to keep a running feed.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Lexonia Search: Videos, Trending, Playlists for YouTube 视频搜索](https://apify.com/lexonia/youtube-search-api.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/lexonia/youtube-search-api.md

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`).
