Example record:

{
  "title": "How to scrape Google \u2014 2026 guide",
  "link": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=abc123",
  "source": "YouTube",
  "thumbnail": "https://i.ytimg.com/\u2026",

Tips / Advanced options

• Use date: week for fresh content monitoring. Brand-safe content monitoring works best on recent uploads.
• quality: hd filters out low-effort reposts. Tends to correlate with original content vs. rips.
• Platform diversity is a feature. Filter source downstream to focus on YouTube-only, or embrace the cross-platform view.
• Dedupe by link. Canonical URLs — stable across runs.

FAQ, Disclaimers, Support

Does this include YouTube Shorts?

Shorts are separate — use google-shorts-scraper.

Can I download the videos?

This actor returns URLs only. Use yt-dlp or a dedicated downloader actor.

Why are some videos missing duration?

Google sometimes omits it for live streams or platforms that don't surface duration metadata.

Can I filter by channel?

Use Google's site:youtube.com/@channelname operator in q for a rough channel filter.
