YouTube Scraper API — Videos, Channels & Comments
YouTube scraper APIs pull public video metadata, channel statistics, comments and search results — no official API quota juggling required. They're the backbone of competitor research, content analytics, and YouTube SEO tooling.
Video and channel metadata
By URL or video ID you get title, description, channel info, views, likes, comments and duration. By channel URL you get subscriber count, video count, view count and popular videos — everything needed to benchmark a niche.
Keyword search scraping
Search scraping by keywords returns the ranking of videos for a query — the raw data for YouTube keyword research and content gap analysis. Filter by upload date, content type, duration and features to narrow the signal.
Comments for sentiment
Comment scraping by video ID gives content, commenter details, likes and replies — usable for sentiment analysis and community research. It's the most underused YouTube dataset for creators who want to know what their audience actually thinks.
