YouTube Scraper - "Maximum videos" parameter doesn't work

Closed

The scraper returns 100 results, even though I set the "Maximum videos" parameter to 10, as specified in the input with "maxResults": 10.

Hi, thanks for opening this issue!

This is a bug in our input. We have it in our log of tasks, and it should get fixed soon. Basically, omitting any of the max items limit fields and making them blank, means infinite, instead of none. This is pretty unintuitive, so we will rework it.

In the meantime, please set the values of maxResultsShorts and maxResultStreams to 0 :)

I hope this helps, I will keep you updated about the fix. Thanks and happy scraping!

Hi! We have updated input schema and now by default we assign 0s to all these properties. Hope this will reduce the confusion
