The video metadata task collects tags, descriptions, titles, exact views, likes, and channels from public watch URLs or 11-character video IDs without requiring a YouTube API key.
The video metadata task reads public pages and InnerTube endpoints directly, needing no cookies, logins, API keys, or custom proxy setup since Apify handles retries automatically.
Running the video metadata task incurs an actor start event charge from $0.10 down to $0.03 depending on your plan, plus $0.99 down to $0.49 per 1,000 results and Apify platform usage.
The video metadata task saves results into an Apify dataset that can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or an HTML table, or read through the Apify API.
Whether using the video metadata task is lawful depends on your specific purpose, site terms, and privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA, making the person running the task responsible.
Each row from the video metadata task provides videoId, title, description, tags, category, viewCount, likeCount, commentCount, channelName, publishedDate, and durationSeconds.
Bot-check pages on Apify datacenter IPs can cause the video metadata task to return truncated descriptions around 160 characters while omitting publish times, tags, or transcripts.
