Get detailed information about a YouTube video by URL or video ID. Returns the title, full description, channel name and ID, publish date, duration in seconds, view count, category, keywords, and thumbnail. Works for regular videos, Shorts, and live streams.

Features

  • Real-time YouTube data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
  • No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
  • Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
  • Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds

Input

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
urlstringyesYouTube video URL (watch?v=, youtu.be/, /shorts/, /embed/ or /live/ forms) or 11-character video ID

Pricing

This Actor is billed per run — a flat $0.005 per run.

  • One run returns all matching results for your input, and costs $0.005 — whether it comes back with one result or hundreds.
  • You’re only charged when a run succeeds. Failed runs are free.
