FAQ
Do I need a YouTube API key?
No. The scraper reads public channel pages, so there is no API key and no quota to manage.
What can I put in the channel list?
Handles like mkbhd, full channel URLs or channel ids, mixed in one list.
Can I get each channel's recent videos?
Yes. Turn on latest videos and set how many to add per channel; each comes with title, views, publish time and duration.
Is it legal to scrape YouTube?
The scraper collects only publicly visible data from YouTube, without logging in. Whether your use is lawful depends on your country and purpose: respect local law and the site's terms, and avoid collecting or storing personal data you don't need.
How do I get the data into my app or spreadsheet?
Run it from the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients, or connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier or Google Sheets. Results export to JSON, CSV or Excel.
