Pricing

One successfully stored row equals one youtube-result event. Failed URLs or queries are reported separately and are not charged as results.

Current MVP limits

Subtitles, comments, media downloads, AI summaries, and authenticated content are not included yet. Publish times on list pages can be relative strings, so the oldest-date filter is exact only when YouTube supplies an absolute date.

YouTube directs developers toward its official APIs and restricts scraping in its policies. Use this Actor only where your collection and use are permitted. This Actor is not affiliated with Google or YouTube.

Support

Open an issue with the run ID and source URL/query. Structured failures are in the run's ERRORS key-value record.

Built by ThriftAPI. Pay per result. HTTP-first.
