[]Kinds of items to return for search queries.
[ "video", "short"]Hard limit across every record emitted by one input URL or query, including metadata, comments, notices, and errors.
Run-wide hard cap across every source and record type. Prevents accidental unbounded jobs.
Content tabs to scrape for channel URLs.

Open every expanded video to collect full details and optional comments/transcripts. Slower but richer.
Ordering applied to search queries.

YouTube duration filter for search queries.

Combined safety limit for start URLs and search queries. Large jobs can be split into multiple Actor runs.
Bounds search, channel, playlist, hashtag, and comment pagination for each URL or query. Prevents repeated continuation pages from running indefinitely.
