Why this Actor?

Listing a creator’s uploads is the backbone of competitor tracking, content calendars, and enrichment pipelines. This Actor lists the public uploads shelf, writes one row per video, and stops cleanly at your maxResults cap — so cost and run time stay predictable.

• Lists beyond a single page of uploads
• Accepts @handles, channel URLs, or UC… IDs
• Cap volume per channel with maxResults
• Pair with Video Scraper for deeper per-ID fields

---

Key features

• YouTube channel videos from the uploads tab
• Explicit cost control via maxResults
• Isolated error rows when a channel fails
• Stable videoId + channelId for joins
• Export JSON / CSV / Excel or run via Apify API

What you can scrape

Group	Fields
Identity	videoId, url, channelId, input, page
Listing	title, author, thumbnail, publishedTime
Metrics	views, length (seconds)

Use cases

• Competitor research — Pull recent uploads across rival channels

  channels: ['@GoogleDevelopers'],
  maxResults: '60',

Input parameters

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
channels	Yes	—	Channel IDs, @handles, or URLs
maxResults	No	"60"	Max videos per channel. Free users are capped at 200; paying users are uncapped.

---

Output

Successful rows use type: "video" with listing fields plus raw. A failed channel pushes type: "error" with the original input and does not abort siblings.

maxResults is an upper bound — channels with fewer uploads return fewer rows.

---

Why choose this Actor

• Deep catalogs — Keeps listing until your maxResults cap or the channel ends
• Cost-aware — Cap per channel so discovery stays cheaper than full enrichment
• Separation of concerns — List here, enrich with Video Scraper, caption with Subtitles
• Shorts stay separate — Use Channel Shorts Scraper when you need the Shorts shelf

---

Pricing

$0.39 per 1,000 results on Apify. Free users: maxResults capped at 200 per channel. Details on the Store page.

FAQ

How do I scrape YouTube channel videos?

Pass channels, choose maxResults, start the Actor, and export the Dataset.

Does it include Shorts?

This Actor targets the uploads / Videos tab. For Shorts catalogs use YouTube Channel Shorts Scraper.

What is the default maxResults?

"60". Free users are capped at 200 per channel; paying users have no hard upper bound.

Why did I get fewer rows than maxResults?

The channel may have fewer public uploads than your cap. The cap is a maximum, not a guarantee.

Can I get full descriptions and likes?

Listing rows are shelf metadata. Enrich IDs with YouTube Video Scraper for richer details.
