YouTube Channel & Video Scraper — Stats, No API Key

Scrape public YouTube data without an API key and without quotas: channel profiles and video statistics, by @handle, channel ID/URL, or video URL. No login, no Google Cloud project, no daily limits.

Most "YouTube" actors only download videos or grab emails. This one gives you clean structured data — the numbers you actually analyze.

What you get

Per video:

Field	Example
title	"Never Gonna Give You Up"
views	1782486532
likes	19153985
lengthSeconds	213
publishDate	2009-10-24
category	Music
channelTitle / channelId	author info
keywords	video tags
shortDescription	description text

Per channel: name, channel ID, subscriber count, description, and its latest videos.

Why this scraper

• No API key, no quota — the official YouTube Data API caps you at 10,000 units/day; this reads public pages directly.
• Handles, IDs or URLs — give @MrBeast, a UC… ID, or a full URL.
• Channel + video in one run — profile, latest videos, and full stats.
• Always explicit — every channel/video returns a status, never a silent empty result.

Use cases

• Influencer research — vet creators by real subscriber and view data.
• Competitor & trend tracking — monitor what channels publish and how it performs (views, likes, engagement).
• Content analytics — pull stats for a list of videos for dashboards.
• Alerting — run on a Schedule, diff datasets, get notified of new uploads via integrations (Slack, email, webhooks).

Input

{
    "channels": ["@MrBeast", "UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA"],
    "videoUrls": ["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"],
    "maxVideosPerChannel": 15,
    "enrichChannelVideos": false
}

• channels — handles, channel IDs or channel URLs.
• videoUrls — video URLs or 11-char IDs (always full stats).
• maxVideosPerChannel — how many latest videos per channel (up to ~15).
• enrichChannelVideos — true opens each channel video's page for full stats (likes, duration, category); false = fast feed data only.

FAQ

Do I need a YouTube/Google API key? No — only public pages.

Are there daily quotas? No, unlike the official Data API.

Can I get more than 15 videos per channel? The channel feed exposes the latest ~15; combine with explicit videoUrls for any specific videos.

Can I monitor a channel on a schedule? Yes — create a Task, attach a Schedule, and consume new uploads via API, webhooks or integrations.
