Scope

This Actor is intentionally focused on recent public Shorts from known channels.

It does not claim to provide:

keyword Shorts search
country-wide trending Shorts
exhaustive historical channel archives
per-Short likes/comments enrichment
transcripts
video/audio downloads
private or restricted content

The upstream channel Shorts feed is dynamic, so results can change between runs.

You are charged only for Short rows successfully written to the dataset.

Reliability and limitations

the channel is unavailable or restricted,
