YouTube Data Export Scraper

Keep YouTube channels and published videos in one searchable export. Review identity, titles, dates, descriptions, audience signals, engagement, and source links together.

The record

The dataset schema names every field before the run. The first working set is whatIFound, id, title, description, channelTitle, channelId, channelUrl, viewCount, likeCount, commentCount, commentCountText, and duration. Dataset views keep related fields together without changing the underlying row.

Input

YouTube Data Export Scraper accepts source URLs and searches. Run controls stay in the same form.
