This alternative YouTube Data API has no limits or quotas. Use it to scrape one or multiple YouTube channels: channel info, URL, total number of subscribers, videos and views, creation date. Try it and get basic video data. You can download extracted data in JSON, CSV, and Excel.

You can access the Fast YouTube Channel Scraper programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.

🏎💨 Fast Youtube Channel Scraper OpenAPI definition

OpenAPI is a standard for designing and describing RESTful APIs, allowing developers to define API structure, endpoints, and data formats in a machine-readable way. It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.

OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.

By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.

You can download the OpenAPI definitions for Fast YouTube Channel Scraper from the options below:
