YouTube Trending Scraper

Pull the trending video chart for a region you choose (for example United States or United Kingdom). Each dataset row is one video with title, channel, engagement counts, publish hints, duration text, thumbnail sizes, and description when available.

Who it’s for

• Creators and analysts tracking what is popular in a given market.
• Marketers who need structured rows for reporting or alerts.
• Automation that runs on a schedule to snapshot the chart.

What you can do with it

• Pick a region so the chart matches that market.
• Choose a chart focus (general, music-focused, gaming, or movies-style lists when supported).
• Optionally set a language hint for how titles and metadata are preferred.
• Cap how many rows to keep so exports stay small.

How it works (in plain terms)

You choose a region and options, then the run fetches the current trending list in one step and writes one row per video up to your maximum. There is no manual paging—the snapshot reflects what the chart returns for that request.

Input

Field	Required	What it means
Region (region)	Yes	Country or region code for the chart (e.g. US, GB).
Chart focus (trendType)	No	General, music, gaming, or movies—default General (now).
Language hint (language)	No	Optional locale or language hint (e.g. en).
Maximum results (maxResults)	No	How many videos to keep from the list (default 50).

Output

• One row per video (until your cap). Duplicates are skipped when the same videoId appears twice.
• Video: typically type, videoId, title, description, lengthText, publishedAt, publishedTimeText.
• Channel: channelTitle, channelId, channelThumbnail (may be null).
• Engagement (often as strings): viewCount, likeCount, commentCount.
• Thumbnails: thumbnail as an array of objects with url, width, height; richThumbnail when present.
• Extra fields: rows may include additional properties beyond those listed.
• Run context: region repeats the code you used; trendType is included when you chose a non-default focus; scrapedAt is when the row was saved.

Availability of exact fields can vary by video and over time.
