✨ Why Use YouTube Trends Scraper?

1. 🎥 100% Dedicated to YouTube Viewer Search Behavior

What people type into the YouTube search bar (how to build ai agents, minecraft tutorial, air fryer recipes) is completely different from what they type into standard Google Web search. This actor queries Google's YouTube Search index (gprop: "youtube") out of the box.

2. ⭐ All 4 YouTube Keyword Datasets in One Run (scrape_type: "all")

By default, a single run extracts:

• 🚀 Breakout & Top Related YouTube Searches (related_queries): Uncover both evergreen high-volume tags (top) and surging +5,000% Breakout video queries (rising).
• 📈 YouTube Search Interest Over Time (interest_over_time): Track hourly, daily, weekly, or multi-year viewer demand from 2008 to today.
• 🌍 Viewer Geography (interest_by_region): See which countries, states, DMA metros, or cities watch your niche most (COUNTRY, REGION, DMA, CITY).
• 🧠 Related YouTube Entities & Topics (related_topics): Discover connected creators, games, software tools, and Knowledge Graph topics.

3. 📦 Compare 5 Topics Side-by-Side OR Bulk-Screen 100 Keywords

• Shared Scale Comparison (compare_keywords: true - Default): Compare up to 5 video titles or niches head-to-head on the same 0–100 scale to pick the winning video idea.
• Bulk Keyword Research (compare_keywords: false): Paste up to 100 YouTube keywords in a single run to score an entire content calendar.
