YouTube image downloader

YouTube Channel Scraper crawls YouTube channel pages the same way a browser does, then returns structured records for the channel and its content. For each video, Short, and live stream you get the thumbnail image link along with the title, duration, view count, and publish date. It also collects channel-level details like the avatar, banner, subscriber count, and total views.

Yes, web scraping is legal for gathering public information from websites. But be careful with personal or confidential data, as well as intellectual property, because laws and regulations might protect them. It's good practice to check the website's rules or terms of service to know what's allowed. If you're not sure, getting legal advice can help ensure you're using web scraping correctly and within the law.

Actors are serverless cloud programs that run on the Apify platform and do computing jobs. They’re called Actors because, like human actors, they perform actions based on a script. They can perform anything from simple actions (such as filling out a web form or sending an email) to complex operations (such as crawling an entire website or removing duplicates from a large dataset). Actor runs can be as short or as long as necessary. They could last seconds, hours, or even run infinitely.
