YouTube API | YouTube comments video search channel videos

SocialDataX read-only YouTube API for YouTube comments, video search, video details, comment replies, channel profiles, and YouTube channel videos.

Apify users do not need to configure a SocialDataX API Key. The Actor owner configures SOCIALDATAX_API_KEY as an Apify secret.

Use this Actor when you need YouTube comments, YouTube comment replies, YouTube video search, YouTube channel videos, channel profile data, or structured results exported to Apify Dataset, CSV, Excel, JSON, or API workflows.

Input tips

• For YouTube comments, paste a public YouTube video URL into video_url.
• For YouTube comment replies, first run get_video_comments, then copy the returned reply_token.
• For YouTube channel videos, paste a channel URL such as https://www.youtube.com/@KirinCamp into channel_url.
• For search, use keyword, optional filters, page_token, max_items, and auto_paginate.

Pagination

Paginated operations use page_token, max_items, and auto_paginate. Each requested page counts as one SocialDataX API request. Results are written to the default Apify Dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel / XLSX, or JSONL.

Example input

{
  "operation": "search_videos",
  "keyword": "camping",
  "page_token": "",
  "sort_type": "general",
  "video_type": "all",
  "publish_time_range": "all",
  "duration_range": "all",
  "max_items": 50,
  "auto_paginate": true
}
