You can access the YouTube Scraper programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also 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.

1# Start Server-Sent Events (SSE) session and keep it running
2curl "https://actors-mcp-server.apify.actor/sse?token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>&actors=streamers/youtube-scraper"
3
4# Session id example output:
5# event: endpoint
6# data: /message?sessionId=9d820491-38d4-4c7d-bb6a-3b7dc542f1fa

Using 📹 YouTube Scraper via Model Context Protocol (MCP) server

MCP server lets you use 📹 YouTube Scraper within your AI workflows. Send API requests to trigger actions and receive real-time results. Take the received sessionId and use it to communicate with the MCP server. The message starts the 📹 YouTube Scraper Actor with the provided input.

1curl -X POST "https://actors-mcp-server.apify.actor/message?token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>&session_id=<SESSION_ID>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
2  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
3  "id": 1,
4  "method": "tools/call",
5  "params": {
6    "arguments": {
7      "searchQueries": [
8            "Crawlee"
9      ],
10      "maxResults": 10
11},
12    "name": "streamers/youtube-scraper"
13  }
14}'

The response should be: Accepted. You should received response via SSE (JSON) as:

1event: message
2data: {
3  "result": {
4    "content": [
5      {
6        "type": "text",
7        "text": "ACTOR_RESPONSE"
8      }
9    ]
10  }
11}

9        "streamers/youtube-scraper"
10      ],
11      "env": {
