YouTube Videos Scraper (Alt Instances) (Apify Actor)

Scrape YouTube videos by:

  • keyword search (keywords)
  • channel uploads (channels)

This Actor uses yewtu/Invidious-compatible instances (HTTP requests only, no browser required).

Input

Use .actor/input_schema.json in the Apify UI.

Minimal required input:

  • at least one keywords[] or channels[]

Recommended defaults are small so the prefilled run finishes quickly.

Output

Dataset items: one item per video record.

Key fields:

  • video_id, url, title
  • channel_id, channel_name, channel_handle, channel_url
  • published_text, duration_seconds, view_count
  • query_type (keyword or channel) and query
  • from_instance (https://... for Invidious, youtube for yt-dlp fallback)

Key-value store:

  • OUTPUT: run metadata + totals + warnings (no item list, rely on dataset)

Notes

  • yewtu/Invidious instances can be unstable; configure altInstances to improve reliability.
  • If all configured instances fail (or altInstances is empty), useYtdlpFallback can fetch results directly from YouTube.
  • This Actor does not use the official YouTube Data API.
