Scrapes Yahoo Video Search for a query and returns video links, titles, descriptions, platforms, thumbnails, durations, and available publisher metadata.
What this Actor collects
The Actor creates one dataset item per Yahoo video result, with canonical URL aliases and normalized duration fields when available.
- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 63-field dataset schema.
- Optional publisher, engagement, date, and technical fields are populated only when Yahoo exposes them.
Use cases
- Video discovery
- Publisher and topic monitoring
- Media-catalog enrichment
