YouTube Related Videos Scraper

Start from a single video (its watch-page id) and collect recommended videos that appear next to it in the product: titles, channels, thumbnails, view hints, and publish text when available. Optionally bias the list with region and language hints. The actor follows the continuation flow so you can gather more than one page—up to the limit you set.

Who it’s for

• Creators and analysts mapping what the product suggests after a given clip.
• Researchers building recommendation graphs from a seed video.
• Automation that stores “related” snapshots on a schedule.

What you can do with it

• Paste one video id from a watch URL.
• Optional region and language hints to align the feed with an audience.
• Cap how many related rows to collect across pages.

How it works (in plain terms)

You provide the starting video id and options. The actor loads the first page of related items, saves rows until your cap, then automatically requests additional pages using the continuation value returned by the service, pausing briefly between requests. You do not paste tokens yourself.

Input

Output

• One row per related video (until your cap). The starting id is skipped if it appears again in the list.
• Related item fields typically include type, videoId, title, channelTitle, channelId, channelHandle, channelThumbnail, views and publish text, thumbnail, and more when returned.
• Seed context: seedVideoId repeats your input id; seedVideoTitle / seedChannelTitle are taken from the header block when the response includes them (title and channel of the video you started from).
• Optional: region when you set it; scrapedAt on every row.

Field availability varies by item and may change over time.
