YouTube View Generator Boost your YouTube video metrics with organic-like views generated by real browsers. This actor uses a real browser to simulate real user views on YouTube videos. Each view is generated in a fresh, isolated browser instance with incognito mode enabled to ensure uniqueness and maximize effectiveness. ## 🚀 Features - Real Browser Views: Uses fully blown browsers, not simple HTTP requests. - Strict Isolation: Every view opens in a new browser instance with no shared cookies or cache. - Incognito Mode: Ensures no data persistence between sessions. - Proxy Support: Fully integrated with Apify Proxies (Residential proxies recommended for best results). - Configurable: Control view duration, concurrency, and total view count. - IMPORTANT: Views take time to be counted by YouTube's algorithm. It may take up to 24 hours for views to be visible in your YouTube account. - Runtime: The actor's runtime depends on the view count, view duration, and concurrency. - Formula: Total Time ≈ (View Count * View Duration) / Max Concurrency - Example 1: 100 views * 30s / 1 concurrency = ~50 minutes. - Example 2: 100 views * 30s / 10 concurrency = ~5 minutes. ## 💰 Pricing This actor is priced to be affordable while maintaining high quality. - Rental Fee: $18.00 / month - Usage Cost: Approximately $0.05 per view (based on a standard 30-second view). Note: Usage costs may vary slightly based on compute usage and proxy bandwidth. ## 🛠 Usage Simply provide the YouTube video URL and configure the desired number of views. ### Input Parameters | Field | Type | Default | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | videoUrl | String | Required | The full URL of the YouTube video (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...). | | viewCount | Integer | 1 | The total number of views you want to generate. | | viewDurationSeconds | Integer | 30 | Duration to watch the video in seconds. Minimum 10s. | | maxConcurrency | Integer | 1 | Maximum number of parallel browsers. Higher concurrency finishes the job faster but uses more compute. | | proxyConfiguration | Object | Auto | Proxy settings. Residential proxies are strongly recommended. | ### Example Input json { "videoUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ", "viewCount": 100, "viewDurationSeconds": 45, "maxConcurrency": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ## ⚠️ Important Notes - Anti-Bot Measures: YouTube has sophisticated anti-bot protections. While this actor uses real browsers and isolation to mimic human behavior, we cannot guarantee that every view will be counted by YouTube's algorithm. - Proxies: Using high-quality residential proxies significantly increases the success rate. Datacenter proxies are easily detected. - IMPORTANT: Views take time to be counted by YouTube's algorithm. It may take up to 24 hours for views to be visible in your YouTube account. ## 📞 Support If you encounter any issues or have feature requests, please report them in the "Issues" tab.
