YouTube Playlist Scraper: Export Playlist Videos to CSV
Export every video of any YouTube playlist to CSV, Excel or JSON: position, title, channel, views, date and length. No 200-video limit: long playlists are read to the end. Get the playlist length at 1.25x to 2x, all playlists of a channel, playlist search, and fix broken playlists: the titles of deleted videos YouTube hides from the list, with a replacement link for each (a re-upload or the official video).
No YouTube API key, no quota, no login. Use it as a YouTube playlist API: one call returns clean JSON.
What you get
One row per video. Real example, September 2026:
| # | video | channel | views | published | length | status | replacement |

How it works
- Add playlists: links,
watch?v=...&list=...links, playlist IDs, or channels (@handle) for all their playlists. Or search playlists by keyword - Choose Results: Videos (the full list) or Playlists (one summary row each)
- Run, then download as CSV, Excel or JSON, or call it as an API

| Only changes | Monitoring: later runs return only added, removed and newly deleted videos |

Ready-made tasks
| Task | What you get |
|---|---|
| Export YouTube Playlist to CSV or Excel | Every video of a playlist as a table |
Monitor your playlists
- Add your playlists (or a channel), turn on Only changes and Find titles of deleted videos
- Save as a task and schedule it daily
- The first run remembers every video; later runs return only
added,removedandbecame unavailablerows, each with the title it had
The Actor also remembers titles of every playlist it has read (key-value store youtube-playlist-titles in your account), so a video deleted later is named for free.
FAQ
Why do playlists stop at 200 videos elsewhere? The YouTube web page gives no next page after 200 videos. This Actor switches to the YouTube app's playlist pages and continues to the end.
How are deleted videos named? YouTube shows only the ID of a deleted or private video. The Actor looks for the title in its own earlier runs, then in copies of the video's page archived by the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org). Popular videos are usually archived; unknown ones may not be.
Can I still watch a deleted video? Not the deleted upload itself: YouTube removed it. With Find replacements the Actor searches YouTube for its old title and gives the best match with a score: often the official video, a re-upload or another upload of the same song. A score near 100 means the same title (and length, when the archive had it); check lower scores by eye.
Why are views rounded? Playlists show rounded views (1.3M). For exact views, likes and comments of each video use YouTube Video Details Scraper.
Mixes and private playlists? Only public playlists; YouTube Mixes (RD...) and Watch Later are personal and not supported.
Use with the API and AI agents
Run it via the Apify API from Python, Node.js or any HTTP client, or connect it to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents through the Apify MCP server: "How long is this course playlist at 1.5x, and which videos were deleted from it?"

Is it legal?
The Actor reads only public data that YouTube and the Wayback Machine show to any visitor, without logging in, and does not download videos. Use it for research, archiving your own playlists and monitoring.
