YouTube photo downloader

YouTube Scraper crawls YouTube the same way a browser does, then returns structured records for each video it finds. Each record includes the thumbnail image link along with the title, view count, likes, duration, and channel details. You can point it at specific URLs or let it work from a search term.

Yes. Add as many video, channel, or playlist URLs as you need, or use a search term to collect photos from videos you have not found yet. The Actor processes them in one run, and you can cap how many videos, Shorts, and live streams it returns.

You get thumbnail image links for videos, Shorts, and live streams, plus channel details like the channel name and subscriber count. The Actor returns image URLs in your dataset rather than saving photo files, so you can pass them straight into your own pipeline or an image downloader Actor.

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.
