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 directly, with no key and no proxy.
