Scrapes video search results from DuckDuckGo. Extracts the full canonical videos-vertical schema: title, URL, embed URL, channel/publisher, duration, views, likes, comments, publish date, thumbnail, platform, isLive/isShort flags, quality options, and more.
What this Actor collects
The Actor converts DuckDuckGo Videos responses into one clean JSON record per video, including video and embed URLs, channel or publisher, duration, views, publication time, thumbnails, platform, API-page context, and search provenance when available.
- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 69-field dataset schema.
- Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.
Use cases
- Video discovery
- Publisher and topic monitoring
- Media-catalog enrichment
