Channel, Playlist, Shorts and Search URLs are supported. | [] | youtubeHandles | array | Handles/Channels that you want to search on YouTube. | [] | getTrending | Boolean | Retrieve the Trending Videos directly from YouTube. | false | keywords | array | Search keywords you want to search on YouTube. | [] | gl | string | Location for the search results, which is passed to YouTube as the gl URL query parameter.

Check "Maximum number of items on output" (maxItems) field, and "Maximum charged results" fields. These two fields enable you to handle the total number of results. Leaving both empty will result infinite results. - Are Some Outputs Missing? Ensure that you review all fields, not just the overview. You can navigate to the "Storage" tab and select either "Download the results" or "Open in a New Tab." - Getting No Results? Confirm that your parameters are not overly restrictive. - Not Receiving New Items After a Large Batch? Examine the log for messages like "Logging is too fast, some lines were skipped." If you encounter this issue, consider scraping smaller amounts of data to avoid it. ## π Contact and Feature Requests If you need any sort of support, please send an email to apidojo10@gmail.com. You name it, we get it. ## π¨ Terms - You should fetch min of 10 items per keyword/youtubeHandles/startUrls. - You shouldn't batch more than 5 keyword/youtubeHandles/startUrls into the same run. - You should have max 1 concurrent runs at the same time. If you really need to run more, don't exceed 2. - You need to wait a couple of minutes between your runs. ## π΄ Other Actors you might want to check - Twitter Scraper Lite - Youtube Playlist Scraper - Youtube Comments Scraper - Youtube Channel Scraper - TikTok Scraper - TikTok User Scraper - Instagram Comments Scraper
