Input

Field	Required	Description
`channelUrl`	Yes	A public `@handle`, `UC…` channel ID, or canonical YouTube channel URL.
`maxItems`	No	Maximum Shorts returned, from 1 to 500 (default 50).
`includeDiagnostics`	No	Store a safe diagnostic row on a blocked or unparseable public page (default `true`).
`enableProxyFallback`	No	Try ordinary Apify Proxy routing after a direct request fails (default `true`).
`maxRetries`	No	Bounded retries per request, from 0 to 3 (default 2).
`requestDelayMs`	No	Delay budget for future multi-request extensions, from 0 to 5000 (default 250).
`requestTimeoutSecs`	No	Public request timeout, from 15 to 180 seconds (default 60).
`proxyConfiguration`	No	Credential-free Apify Proxy configuration. A US residential group can help with regional throttling.

Example:

{
  "channelUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/@NASA",
  "maxItems": 25,
  "includeDiagnostics": true,
  "enableProxyFallback": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": false}
}

Output

Each dataset item is a public Shorts listing record. Unavailable values are omitted instead of being fabricated.

Field group	Included data
Channel	`channelName`, `channelId`, `channelHandle`, `channelUrl`, `requestedChannelUrl`
Short identity	`videoId`, `videoUrl`, `title`, `accessibilityText`, `position`, `isShort`
Media	`thumbnail`, `thumbnails`, `thumbnailCount`
Metrics	`viewCountText`, parsed `viewCount`
Status	`durationText`, `durationSeconds`, `publishedText`, `isLive`, `isUpcoming` when public data exposes them
Provenance	`sourceTab`, `sourceUrl`, `metadataSource`, `extractionMethod`, `source`, `scrapedAt`

If the page is unavailable or does not expose a Shorts listing, the actor writes a diagnostic item and marks OUTPUT.status as failed. Successful runs write a run summary to the OUTPUT key-value record.

Development

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

The cloud-validation.json fixture explicitly requests the ordinary US Apify Proxy group for a genuine routing check. Proxy routing is reported in OUTPUT.proxyRequested and OUTPUT.proxyConfigured; no proxy URL or user-agent details are stored in the dataset.
