Input

Provide at least one item in channelUrls or channelHandles.

Field	Description
`channelUrls` / `channelHandles`	Public channel URLs, handles, or UC channel IDs. Up to 25 channels.
`extractChannelInfo`	Emit channel description, avatar, banner, keywords, external links, counts, country, and join date when public (default `true`).
`scrapeVideos`	Read the public Videos tab and enrich matching rows from the public RSS feed (default `true`).
`scrapeShorts` / `scrapeLiveStreams`	Also read the public Shorts or Streams tab (default `false`).
`maxVideosPerChannel`	Bounded video/tab limit from 0 to 200; zero uses 200 (default 50).
`sortVideosBy`	`date`/`newest`, `oldest`, or `popularity` (default `date`).
`extractPlaylists` / `maxPlaylists`	Read the public Playlists tab, bounded to 200 (default disabled).
`includeDiagnostics`	Store safe failure/block diagnostics (default `true`).
`enableProxyFallback`	Try ordinary Apify Proxy after direct access fails (default `true`).
`maxRetries`, `requestDelayMs`, `requestTimeoutSecs`	Bounded request controls.
`proxyConfiguration`	Credential-free Apify Proxy settings. `proxy` remains accepted as a legacy alias.

Example:

{
  "channelHandles": ["MrBeast"],
  "scrapeVideos": true,
  "maxVideosPerChannel": 3,
  "includeDiagnostics": true,
  "enableProxyFallback": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": false}
}

Dataset records

Records use explicit types: youtube_channel, youtube_channel_video, youtube_channel_playlist, and diagnostic rows. Channel rows include public identity, description, avatar/banner, subscriber/total-view/video counts, join date, country, keywords, external links, and provenance when available. Video rows include IDs/URLs, titles, descriptions from RSS when available, thumbnails and dimensions, views, duration, publication/update timestamps, tab, live/Short flags, and source provenance. Playlist rows include playlist identity, title, count, thumbnail, and source page.

The actor omits unavailable values. It never stores cookies, authorization, proxy URLs, user-agent details, signed media URLs, or other operational request data. OUTPUT contains status, counts, duration, and explicit proxy-routing flags.

Development

npm ci
npx apify validate-schema .actor/input_schema.json
npm test
apify run --purge --input-file qa-inputs/youtube-channel-scraper/local-validation.json
npm run validate-dataset

The cloud-proxy-validation.json fixture uses the ordinary US Apify Proxy group for a genuine cloud routing check.
