What it returns

Each video row contains:

  • search query and rank
  • video ID, title, and watch URL
  • channel name and channel ID when exposed
  • public view-count text
  • relative publish-time text
  • duration text
  • thumbnail URL
  • UTC collection timestamp

Input example

{
"searchQueries": ["wireless earbuds", "python tutorial"],
"maxResultsPerQuery": 50,
"country": "US",
"language": "en"
}

maxResultsPerQuery is an upper bound, not a guarantee. Public YouTube result availability and response shapes can vary.

Scope

This Actor is intentionally focused on keyword video search. It does not claim to provide transcripts, comments, channel crawling, downloads, or exhaustive YouTube inventory.

No YouTube Data API key is required from the user.

Pricing

The intended Store pricing is pay per event:

  • Video result: $0.50 per 1,000 results on the Free tier
  • volume discounts may apply on paid tiers
  • the standard synthetic Actor-start event can also apply

The Actor stops producing billable results when the run's maximum charge limit is reached.

Platform pricing configuration can change; always check the current pricing section in Apify before running.
