Type:array

🧑‍🎤 Find creators (lead finder)

findCreators

Optional

Keywords to find YouTube CHANNELS for — one row per channel with country, joined date, total views, subscribers, social links (Instagram/TikTok/X handles), the "has business email" flag, emails the creator published publicly, and recent activity. Filters below.

Type:array

Max items

maxItems

Optional

Max videos per search term, channel tab, playlist or hashtag (and max channels per creator keyword). Channels: this applies to EACH tab you pick, so Videos + Shorts returns up to 2× this per channel.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:20000

Default:10

Full video details

enrich

Optional

Fetch each video's full metadata (likes, description, keywords, category). Off = fast search-feed fields only.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Full details (category, tags, exact duration)

includeDetails

Optional

Add category, keywords/tags, exact duration in seconds (Shorts included), the exact publish time and family-safe / unlisted flags.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Include transcripts / subtitles

includeSubtitles

Optional

Download subtitles and the full transcript text (manual + auto-generated). Adds transcript, subtitles (SRT by default) and availableSubtitles to each video. Pricing: each video that comes back with transcript text adds one transcript event ($0.0015, i.e. $1.50 per 1,000) on top of the video row. Videos without captions (transcript: null) add nothing.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Subtitle languages

subtitleLanguages

Optional

Language codes to download, in order of preference (e.g. "en", "es"). Empty = the video’s main track only: the caption track YouTube’s player turns on (usually the creator’s own captions), else the manual track in the spoken language, else the auto-generated one. Use "*" for every track — a TED talk can have 20+. The first manual track in this order becomes transcript, otherwise the auto-generated one. availableSubtitles always lists every track.

Type:array

Subtitle format

subtitleFormat

Optional

Type:string

Default:srt

Options:

srtvtttextsegments

Include dislikes (estimated)

Type:boolean

Default:false

💬 Max comments per video

maxComments

Optional

How many top comments to pull per video (0 = none). commentsTruncated is true on a row whose list stopped early (a page YouTube would not serve, or the run’s deadline).

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:5000

Default:0

Comment order

commentsSortBy

Optional

Top comments (YouTube's default) or newest first.

Type:string

Default:top

Options:

topnewest

Also pull up to this many replies for each comment that has them, nested under replies (0 = none). The most-replied comments go first, and each video gets at most 20 reply pages (~200 replies in total).

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:500

Default:0

Video Intelligence pack

includeVideoInsights

Optional

Most-replayed "viral moments" (with the words spoken and a timestamped clip link), music credits and sponsor signals (a heuristic: brands, promo codes, affiliate links). Works when YouTube shows a Most-replayed graph.

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Deep search (more results per term)

deepSearch

Optional

Keep paging every search term until Max items unique videos are found. Off (default) = the classic depth this actor has always had: a plain search (relevance order, no filters, no Shorts) reads 2 result pages — about 40 videos — whatever Max items says, while sorted or filtered searches page toward Max items. Turn on for large keyword pulls; you are billed per row, so a plain search with a high Max items then returns (and bills) up to that many rows.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Include Shorts

includeShorts

Optional

Also collect YouTube Shorts from search results. Off by default: Shorts change which videos a search returns, so existing runs keep the previous long-form-only behaviour unless you turn this on.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max Shorts

maxShorts

Optional

Cap how many Shorts (videos 60s or under) to include per search term. Leave empty for no cap; set 0 to exclude Shorts entirely.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Max live streams

maxStreams

Optional

Cap how many live streams to include per search term. Leave empty for no cap; set 0 to exclude streams entirely.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Type:string

Default:US

Language

language

Optional

Interface language for search and hashtag results (e.g. "en", "ko", "pt-BR") — keeps original-language titles. Video details stay in English so numbers parse reliably.

Type:string

Default:en

Channel tabs

channelContent

Optional

Which tabs to scrape for channels: Videos, Shorts and/or Live. Max items applies to each tab.

Type:string[]

Default:

[
  "videos"
]

Channel sort

Type:string

Default:newest

Options:

newestpopularoldest

Published after

publishedAfter

Optional

Only channel videos published on or after this date — a date (2026-08-01) or a relative age ("30 days", "2 weeks", "12 hours", "7d"). A value the actor can’t read stops the run before anything is scraped or charged. Great for daily/weekly monitoring schedules. Older videos are skipped and not charged. With Full video details off, only the channel page’s relative dates ("2 weeks ago") are known, so a video is kept only when that date is surely inside the window.

Type:string

Add channel About data to videos

includeChannelAbout

Optional

Add the channel's country, joined date, total views, links, social handles and public contact info to every video row (one extra request per channel).

Type:boolean

Default:false

Min subscribers

minSubscribers

Optional

Creator finder: skip channels with fewer subscribers.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Max subscribers

maxSubscribers

Optional

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Creator countries

creatorCountries

Optional

Type:array

Active within (days)

activeWithinDays

Optional

Creator finder: only channels that uploaded within this many days.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Only creators with contact info

requireContact

Optional

Creator finder: only channels that publish an email or have a business email on file. Only emails the creator published publicly are returned — never hidden ones.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Proxy

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Proxy for YouTube. RESIDENTIAL is recommended: datacenter IPs hit YouTube bot checks on the video player and watch page.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": [
    "RESIDENTIAL"
  ]
}

Proxy strategy

proxyStrategy

Optional

"configured" sends every request through the proxy above. "auto" sends YouTube's JSON endpoints (search, video pages, comments, channels) through Apify datacenter proxies and only the video player through the proxy above — faster, and it falls back to your proxy automatically if datacenter IPs get blocked.

Type:string

Default:configured

Options:

configuredauto

Save "not found" rows in the dataset (billed)

errorRowsInDataset

Optional

Off (default): an input or video that returns nothing (unknown channel, no search results, empty playlist, unrecognized URL, private or deleted video) is listed in the ERRORS record of the run's key-value store and in the status message, and is not charged. On: it is also saved in the dataset as a row with error and note, the way earlier versions did, and each such row is billed as one result. Turn it on only if your integration reads those rows from the dataset.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Run as an account without residential proxies

_noResidential

Optional

Internal (canaries): behave exactly like an account without the RESIDENTIAL proxy group.

Type:boolean

Default:false
