What do you want to scrape? Each type uses the matching section below.
For Search Type: Video details, Channel, Shorts, Comments, Transcript or Playlist. Video, channel, playlist or shorts URLs (depending on Search Type). For Video/Comments/Transcript use video URLs; for Channel/Shorts use channel URLs; for Playlist use playlist URLs. You can mix several.
For Search Type: Search by keyword. Keywords to search on YouTube.
For Search Type: Channel / Shorts. Channel @handles or names (e.g. @MrBeast).
Global hard cap on the total number of output records for the whole run, across every type (videos, shorts, streams, channel info, comments, etc.). 0 = no global limit. For Channel mode the channel-info record counts toward this cap, while the per-type caps below control how many videos/shorts/streams are fetched.
Result ordering for search.
Filter search results by how recently the video was uploaded.
Filter search results by video length.
Restrict search results to a single entity type.
