Youtube Scraper - Metadata

Closed

I am using the YT scraper actor. I see the metadata properties that can be downloaded, which has all of required ones except for one. This is the the date a channel was first set up. The only date I see is the date the video upload was done. Is there any way to include the YT channel setup date included in the export ? thnks

Hi Abid, thanks for opening this issue!

This data is not available in this scraper, because it would require an additional request to get it, which would negatively affect our current pricing.

Though we have an Actor exactly for YT channel detail data, but for some reason we've made it private. I will discuss with the team why that is the case and ideally make it public again, so you can use it :)

I will keep you updated here, thanks!

Hi again Abid! In addition to the above, we can extract detailed channel info, but only if you provide a direct url of a channel (not a url of a single video or a search term). It got broken due to changes in Youtube's website but has just been fixed. You can see an example run here https://console.apify.com/view/runs/f7ZOueHWUeyKoVKIf

Also, you can set all counts in the input to 0. This way it will only scrape channel metadata. We can't scrape channel joined date for search terms or direct video URLs, because it would mean excessive requests and slowing down the scraper
