YouTube Channel Videos Scraper — Latest Videos, Exact Views, $0.50/1K

Get the videos, Shorts and live streams of any YouTube channel — newest, most popular or oldest first — with their exact views, likes, comment counts and publish dates, the channel's profile, plus a signal for videos gaining views fast. Paste an @handle or a channel URL; no API key, no login.

Price: $0.50 per 1,000 videos ($0.0005 per video). The first 10 results of every run are free.

Free tier — 10 results free on every run

The first 10 results of every run are free, on every run you ever make — not a one-off trial. One guard: the free allowance never covers more than half of a run, so the offer stays sustainable.

What you get

Each video contains: video_id, title, view_count (exact), like_count (exact), comment_count, published_at, url, type (video, short or stream), channel, channel_handle, channel_subscribers, and on scheduled runs the view change since the last check and a flag for videos gaining views fast.

How much does it cost?

$0.0005 per video — $0.50 per 1,000. You pay only for results actually delivered.

Videos	Cost
1,000	$0.50
10,000	$5.00
100,000	$50.00

• No per-run fee and no check fee.
• Failed inputs are never charged, and maxTotalChargeUsd can cap any run.
• The first 10 results of every run are free (never more than half of a run).
• Larger Apify plans pay less per result automatically.

Input

Field	What it does
channels	Channel handles (@mkbhd), channel URLs or channel IDs.
maxVideos	Videos per channel, 0 to 5,000. Default 30.
maxShorts	Shorts per channel, 0 to 2,000. Default 0.
maxStreams	Live streams per channel, 0 to 1,000. Default 0.
sortBy	newest (default), popular or oldest: YouTube's own order on the channel page.
oldestVideoDate	YYYY-MM-DD. Keep only what was published from this day on.
includeChannelInfo	Add the channel's profile to every row (see below). Default off.
maxTotalChargeUsd	Optional hard cost cap for the run.

{
  "channels": ["@mkbhd"],
  "maxVideos": 100,
  "maxShorts": 50,
  "sortBy": "popular",
  "includeChannelInfo": true
}

Output

One row per video. Real example:

{
  "video_id": "rayrrXot17M",
  "title": "Nothing Headphone 1 Pro: They Copied the Wrong Thing!",
  "channel": "@mkbhd",
  "view_count": 3489265,
  "like_count": 49433,
  "comment_count": 2300,
  "like_count_rounded": false,
  "published_at": "2026-09-29T01:01:35+00:00",
  "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rayrrXot17M",
  "type": "video",
  "channel_handle": "@mkbhd",
  "channel_subscribers": 20900000
}

With includeChannelInfo, every row also carries channel_id, channel_title, channel_url, channel_description, channel_links (the links on the About panel), channel_country, channel_joined_at, channel_subscribers, channel_total_views, channel_video_count, channel_avatar_url, channel_banner_url and channel_is_verified.

A channel that has no Shorts or no live streams simply returns none for that part; nothing is billed for it.

like_count_rounded is true only when YouTube shows a rounded figure (for example "12K") instead of the exact number.

Tips and limits

• Videos are returned newest first; maxVideos stops at the channel's oldest upload if it has fewer.
• Schedule it daily with monitorEnabled to get only new uploads and a signal when a video's views take off.

Use cases

• Creator research — how a channel's recent uploads perform.
• Competitor tracking — new videos from competitor channels.
• Influencer vetting — real, exact view counts, not rounded ones.
• Viral detection — schedule it to spot videos taking off.

Why this one

• First-party data. It reads YouTube's own public endpoints directly, with no resold scraper in between: fast, fresh and cheap.
• Clean, normalized rows plus a RUN_SUMMARY.json with counts and signals.
• Hard cost cap with maxTotalChargeUsd.

How to use it in 3 steps

1. Click Try for free and fill in YouTube channel handles to track (channels).
2. Optional: adjust the other fields; every one has a description and a sensible default.
3. Click Start and download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them from the API.

Use it from code (API)

Every Apify Actor is an API. Start a run and read the results with one call.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("om_kh/youtube-channel-videos-scraper").call(run_input={"channels": ["@MrBeast", "@mkbhd"]})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('om_kh/youtube-channel-videos-scraper').call({
    "channels": [
        "@MrBeast",
        "@mkbhd"
    ]
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

One HTTP call (cURL) — runs the Actor and returns the dataset in the same response:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/om_kh~youtube-channel-videos-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"channels": ["@MrBeast", "@mkbhd"]}'

Integrations: n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets

• n8n — the official Apify node, operation Run Actor and get dataset, Actor om_kh/youtube-channel-videos-scraper.
• Make — Apify › Run an Actor, then Apify › Get Dataset Items.
• Zapier — Apify › Run Actor; map the dataset items into your next step.
• Google Sheets, webhooks, Slack — add an integration from the Integrations tab of this Actor.
• Schedules — run it every hour or day from Schedules in Apify Console.

Use it from an AI agent (MCP and x402)

Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client to Apify's MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com and add this Actor, om_kh/youtube-channel-videos-scraper, as a tool — the agent passes the same JSON as the run input and gets the dataset back.

AI agents that pay with x402 can run it too, without an Apify account: the Actor charges only per result delivered, so an agent pays exactly for what it gets.

FAQ

How many videos can I get per channel? Up to 5,000 videos per channel with maxVideos, plus up to 2,000 Shorts (maxShorts) and 1,000 live streams (maxStreams). The default is 30 videos.

Are like counts exact? Yes, read from each video's own page. When YouTube only shows a rounded number, like_count_rounded is true.

Is it legal to scrape YouTube? This Actor collects only publicly available YouTube data and never logs in. You are responsible for how you use it; check YouTube's terms and your local law (GDPR, CCPA) if you store personal data, and ask a lawyer if unsure.

Do I need an account, cookies or an API key? No. You only need an Apify account to run it.

What data do I get? Videos with title, views, likes and publish date. Download it as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or XML, or read it from the API.

Am I charged when something fails? No. An input that fails is listed with its reason in the run summary and is never charged.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Create a schedule in Apify Console (hourly, daily, weekly) and connect webhooks, Google Sheets, Slack, n8n, Make or Zapier.

Can I use it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent? Yes: see the code samples above, or connect AI agents through MCP with the youtube_channel_videos_check tool.
