Apify YouTube Scraper
An Apify actor that collects public YouTube video and channel data, such as titles, views, likes, subscriber counts and upload dates, with optional subtitles.
Source checked
Access and use
Needs an Apify account and API token; it bills per video, about US$2.40 to US$4 per 1,000 depending on plan, and results are stored in your Apify datasets. The free plan's US$5 monthly credit covers a small run. It scrapes YouTube outside the official API, which YouTube's Terms of Service bar without permission, and Apify says not to collect personal data without a legitimate reason.
Who it is for
Analysts who need bulk YouTube data without writing a scraper.
