How to Use

Configure Your Search: Go to the Input tab and fill in what you want to search for. You only need to provide a Search Query to get started.
Run the Actor: Click the Start button and wait for the run to finish.
Get Your Data: Once the actor has finished, go to the Dataset tab to see the scraped results. You can download the data in formats like JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Input Configuration

Field	Type	Description
`query`	`string`	Required. The keywords you want to search for on YouTube.
`maxResults`	`integer`	The maximum number of results you want to get. The default is `100`. This is ignored if you enable "Scrape all available results".
`scrapeAllResults`	`boolean`	If you check this box, the actor will scrape all search results it can find. This might take a long time and result in a very large dataset.
`type`	`string`	Filter your results by a specific type. You can choose: `video`, `channel`, `playlist`, `movie`, or `shorts`.
`sortBy`	`string`	How to sort the results. The options are: `relevance` (default) or `popularity`.
`duration`	`string`	Filter videos by their length. Choose from: `under3min` (less than 3 minutes), `3to20min` (3-20 minutes), or `over20min` (more than 20 minutes).
`uploadDate`	`string`	See results from a specific time frame. Options: `today`, `week`, `month`, or `year`.
`geo`	`string`	A 2-letter country code (e.g., `US`, `GB`, `IN`) to get results relevant to a specific country.
`lang`	`string`	A language code (e.g., `en`, `es`, `fr`) to get results in a specific language.
`features`	`object`	A set of filters to find videos with specific features. You can toggle flags like `HD`, `Subtitles/CC`, `Creative Commons`, `3D`, `Live`, `Purchased`, `4K`, `360`, `Location`, `HDR`, and `VR180`.
`local`	`boolean`	If checked, the actor will request localized data from YouTube.

Output Data

The results will be stored in the dataset. Each item is a JSON object that represents a search result. Here is an example of what a video result looks like:
