About Youtube Playlist Scraper - ⚡ Lightning Fast, 💰 Low-Cost
Need to pull data from YouTube playlists without the manual grind? I built this scraper because I got tired of copying and pasting details one video at a time. It lets you grab structured data for every video across multiple playlists in a single run. You'll get the video title, direct URL, like count, thumbnail image, the uploader's name, and a link to their channel—all formatted and ready for your spreadsheet or database. It's genuinely fast. I've used it to analyze competitor content calendars and gather research for video projects, and it saves hours. Whether you're a marketer analyzing trends, a researcher compiling data, or a creator tracking your own content, this tool handles the heavy lifting. Just plug in the playlist URLs, hit start, and get your JSON, CSV, or Excel file. It runs on Apify's platform, so it's reliable and costs pennies per scrape. No more tedious manual work; just clean, actionable data.
