Frequently Asked Questions
Can I scrape a whole channel?
Yes. Pass a channel URL (@handle, /channel/UC..., /c/name) and the actor walks the channel's videos up to your maxItems.
Does it return view counts and publish dates? Yes. Every video carries its view count, publish date, duration and channel, plus a description and thumbnail.
Do I need a proxy or API key? No. The actor reads YouTube's public data endpoints directly, with no key and no proxy.
