Type:array

🎞️ Maximum videos per search term

maxVideos

Optional

Set how many regular (non‑Shorts, non‑live) videos to scrape for each search term. Use 0 to skip long‑form videos completely and focus only on Shorts or streams.

Type:integer
Minimum:0
Maximum:9999
Default:10

📱 Maximum Shorts per search term

maxShorts

Optional

Control how many YouTube Shorts (vertical clips) to collect per keyword. Use 0 if you do not want to include Shorts in your dataset.

Type:integer
Minimum:0
Maximum:9999

Type:integer
Minimum:0

🔗 Direct URLs

startUrls

Optional

Provide direct YouTube video, channel, playlist, or results page URLs to scrape without using search terms. This is ideal for monitoring specific assets.

Type:array

💬 Download subtitles

downloadSubtitles

Optional

Download video subtitles/transcripts when available. When enabled, the actor will try to fetch caption tracks and optionally full transcripts for each scraped video.

Type:boolean
Default:false

🗄️ Save subtitles to key‑value store

saveSubtitlesToKvs

Optional

When enabled, every downloaded transcript is stored in the default Apify key‑value store under its own key (e.g. "transcript-VIDEO_ID") so you can download large subtitle files separately from the main dataset.

Type:boolean
Default:false

🌐 Subtitle language

subtitlesLanguage

Optional

Choose the primary language for subtitles/transcripts (e.g. en, es, fr, de). The actor will look for this language first and fall back to available tracks where possible.

Default:en
Options:
enesfrdeptitrujakozharhibntrplnlsvidthvi

⚙️ Prefer automatically generated subtitles

preferAutoGenerated

Optional

If turned on, the actor will prefer auto‑generated subtitles over manually uploaded caption tracks. This can increase coverage for less localized videos at the cost of some accuracy.
