Optional alias for 'Max Items' (unified ViralAnalyzer vocabulary). If set, it overrides 'Max Items'. Leave empty to keep using 'Max Items'.
Optional unified-vocabulary alias for inputs. Provide a list of plain YouTube URLs (channel, playlist, or video). When non-empty AND 'Seed Type' is 'url', these are mapped into 'Start URLs'. Leave empty to keep using 'Start URLs'.
Type of values provided in 'Seeds'. This actor discovers videos only from URLs (channel/playlist/video, including @handle channel URLs), so the only supported seed type is 'url'.
Optional. Find videos by topic instead of by URL. When set, the actor runs a YouTube keyword search (yt-dlp ytsearch) for this term and ignores 'Start URLs'/'Seeds'. Number of results = resolved Max Results / Max Items. Leave empty to scrape from URLs.
Order for keyword-search results (only used when 'Search Query' is set). 'relevance' (default) uses YouTube relevance; 'date' uses the date-ordered search and is also re-sorted newest-first in the actor (YouTube's server-side date order is unreliable); 'views' has no native YouTube sort, so results are fetched then sorted by view count (descending) in the actor.
If true, each video gets an additive 'comments' array of { author, text, likes }, truncated to 'Comments Limit'. WARNING: comment fetching is slow and adds run time — keep this OFF unless you need the text. When false (default), only 'commentsCount' is returned and there is no extra cost.
If true, each item gets an additive '_normalized' block (platform, url, author, text, views, likes, comments, shares, publishedAtISO, lang, hashtags, engagementVelocity) for easy cross-platform aggregation. Existing fields are unchanged. Default false.
If true, will attempt to extract auto-generated captions.
Comments Limit (per video)
commentsLimit
Optional
Maximum number of top-level comments to return per video when 'Include Comment Text' is on. Capped at 100 to protect the run timeout.
