Tubelens 🎥

We turn YouTube's messy public data into clean, structured JSON you can actually use.

Focused, reliable scrapers for YouTube — we do whatever it takes to get the data cleanly. HTTP-first where we can, browser automation and deeper techniques where we must.

What we do

  • 🎥 Videos, channels, playlists, and search — full metadata in clean JSON
  • 📝 Transcripts (auto-generated and manual) in any available language
  • 💬 Comments at scale, with replies and author metadata
  • 📊 Output ready for analytics, dashboards, and LLM pipelines

Our approach

  • Reliability over shortcuts — we use the most robust method for each endpoint, not a one-size-fits-all stack
  • HTTP-first, browser when needed — fast and cheap where possible, without compromising on coverage
  • Pay-per-result pricing — transparent, you only pay for what you extract
  • YouTube-first — this is all we do, and we dogfood our own data

Common use cases

  • Creator analytics & competitive intelligence
  • AI / LLM training data (transcripts + metadata)
  • Market research and trend monitoring
  • Content discovery pipelines
