YouTube Channel Video Scraper

Scrapes video data from a YouTube channel using just the profile username. It's built for speed and outputs structured data.

Overview

Provide a YouTube profile username (like @DonaldJTrumpforPresident). The actor scrapes that channel's videos and returns key details for each one in a clean JSON format. It's maintained for reliability.

Key Features

• Fast scraping: Optimized for quick data extraction from YouTube profiles.
• Structured output: Returns consistent, comprehensive data fields for every video.
• Simple input: Only requires the channel's username to start.
• Professionally maintained: Regularly updated and supported.

How to Use

1. Input: Enter the target YouTube profile's username (e.g., @DonaldJTrumpforPresident) into the actor's input field.
2. Run: Start the actor. It will navigate to the channel, collect data from the video listings, and process it.
3. Output: Retrieve the dataset containing structured video information, ready for download or integration.
