Keywords to search for on YouTube. Each keyword runs a separate search. Examples: 'python tutorial', 'how to cook pasta', 'best laptops 2026'.
Maximum number of videos to scrape per keyword. Default 50, max 500.
Filter by content type: all videos and Shorts, only regular videos, or only Shorts.
How YouTube sorts search results. Relevance is the default YouTube ranking. Upload date shows newest first. View count shows most viewed first.
Only show videos uploaded within a certain time frame. This is YouTube's built-in search filter.
Filter by video length. Short is under 4 minutes, medium is 4 to 20 minutes, long is over 20 minutes.
Only keep videos whose title contains a specific keyword. You can type multiple keywords separated by commas (e.g. 'beginner, tutorial'). Leave empty to keep all videos. This filter is free.
Only include videos published within the last N days. More precise than the Upload Date search filter above. Leave empty or 0 to include all videos.
Fetch stats for each video: likes, comment count, full description, category, tags, and exact publish date. This is a paid add-on ($0.25 per 1,000 videos) and makes the scraper slower since it fetches each video individually.
Detect the spoken language of each video using YouTube's caption data. Adds a detectedLanguage field (e.g. 'en', 'ko', 'es'). Only charged when language is successfully detected ($0.10 per 1,000 videos).
Fetch analytics for each video's channel: subscriber count, total videos, total views, channel description, country, and join date. Results are cached per channel so you only pay once per unique channel. This is a paid add-on ($0.25 per 1,000 videos).
Include the YouTube video ID (e.g. 'dQw4w9WgXcQ').
Include the YouTube channel ID (e.g. 'UCxxx...').
Include whether the channel has the YouTube verified badge.
Include the URL to the video thumbnail image.
Include the parsed numeric view count (e.g. 1200000).
Include the original view count text as shown on YouTube (e.g. '1.2M views').
Include the relative publish date as shown on YouTube (e.g. '3 days ago').
Include the formatted duration string (e.g. '12:34').
Include the duration as a total number of seconds.
Include the content type flag ('video' or 'short').
Include the input keyword that produced the row.
Include the ISO timestamp of when the row was scraped.
Number of keywords to process in parallel (max 10). Higher values are faster but use more memory.
