YouTube Search Scraper

🚀 YouTube Search Scraper

Scrape YouTube search results for any keyword. The YouTube Search Scraper returns each video's title, URL, exact view count, duration, upload time and description snippet, plus the channel's name, @handle, ID and verified badge. Filter by upload date and length, sort by relevance or views, and run many keywords at once. Use it for keyword and content research, competitor and trend tracking, influencer discovery or to collect video URLs for transcripts and comments.

✨ Features

• 🔍 Many Keywords per Run: Each keyword gets its own result limit.
• 📅 Upload Date Filter: Last hour, today, this week, this month or this year.
• ⏱️ Duration Filter: Short (under 4 minutes), medium (4–20 minutes) or long (over 20 minutes).

❓ FAQ

Do I need a YouTube account or API key? No.

Can I sort by upload date? YouTube no longer orders search results by date. Use the Upload date filter (for example today or week) to get only recent videos.

How many results can one keyword return? As many as YouTube's search pages go, typically several hundred per keyword. Narrow filters return fewer.
