- Template page: [https://www.octoparse.com/template/youtube-search-scraper](https://www.octoparse.com/template/youtube-search-scraper)
- Categories: Social Media
- Status: `PUBLISHED`
- Run mode: `CLOUD`

## Pricing

Current price: **$0.96/1,000 lines**. Billing is based on output rows; an Octoparse subscription may be required.

## What is an Octoparse template?

An Octoparse template is a ready-to-use scraping workflow with predefined inputs and structured outputs. Use the exact parameter keys below; do not invent parameters.

## Overview

This ready-to-use template collects structured data from web pages.

## Output

The current workflow extracts 33 fields, including `accountAvatarUrl`, `accountBadgeList`, `accountDisplayId`, `accountFansCount`, `accountHomeUrl`, `accountId`, `accountName`, `articleType`, `channelThumbnailList`, `coCreatorInfo`, `commentCount`, `commentsTurnedOff`, `contentBadgeList`, `contentId`, `contentText`, `contentTitle`, `contentUrl`, `coverImageList`, `descriptionLinks`, `detailCoCreatorInfo`, `detailContentText`, `hashtags`, `isCollaboration`, `isVerified`, `isVerifiedArtist`, `keyword`, `likeCount`, `playCount`, `publishTime`, `rawPublishTime`, `videoDuration`, `videoSummary`, `viewCount`.

## Use Cases

- Use structured results for research, comparison, and monitoring.
- Collect rows without building the extraction workflow from scratch.
- Combine results with other templates for downstream enrichment.
- Review a representative result before starting a large batch.

## Why Octoparse

- **No coding required:** complete Search Keywords, crawlNum (up to 600) and start the template in cloud mode.
- **Flexible export:** review and export results as CSV, Excel, or JSON.

## Input

### Search Keywords

Required. keywords to search. Constraints: minItems=1; maxItems=10000; items.minLength=1; items.maxLength=512.

### crawlNum (up to 600)

Optional. crawlNum for each keyword. Constraints: minimum=1, maximum=600.

## How to Use

### 📌 What is YouTube Search Scraper?

Collects YouTube search results for one or more keywords, returning each video's metadata, engagement, channel info, and description links/hashtags in a single task.

### 💰 Pricing

$0.96 per 1,000 rows collected.

### 📦 Output

High-value field groups:

- Video identity and content: title, video ID, URL, type, badges (e.g., New, 4K), duration, publish time (relative and exact), description snippet and full description.
- Search context: the keyword that matched this video.
- Channel: name, ID, home URL, avatar, thumbnail, subscriber count, badges (e.g., Official Artist Channel), verified and verified-artist status.
- Engagement: view/play count, like count, comment count, whether comments are turned off.
- Description extras: outbound links (Spotify, Instagram, official sites, etc.) and hashtags parsed from the video description.
- Collaboration context: co-creator info for official YouTube collabs.

### 📝 Input

- **keywords**: One or more YouTube search keywords, one per line. No limit on the number of keywords per task.
- **crawlNum (up to 600)**: Maximum number of videos to collect per keyword. Leave blank to collect up to 600 (the confirmed ceiling YouTube allows for a single keyword's search results).

### 🚀 How to Use

1. Open YouTube Search Scraper and click **Try it!**.
2. Enter one or more keywords in `keywords`, one per line.
3. Set `crawlNum` (up to 600) to control how many videos each keyword returns, or leave blank to collect up to the maximum.
4. Start the task – it runs in the cloud.
5. Review the collected video rows.
6. Export the data in the format you need.

### ⚠️ Limitations

- `crawlNum` accepts any value, but YouTube limits a single keyword's search results to roughly 600 videos; requesting more will not return more.
- No fixed limit on keyword lines per task; very large keyword lists take proportionally longer.
- If a video's detail lookup fails, its search result row is still uploaded; detail-only fields (comment count, like count, subscriber count, etc.) are left blank.
- `isCollaboration`, `coCreatorInfo`, and `detailCoCreatorInfo` only populate for official YouTube collabs.
- `isVerifiedArtist` only populates for verified music-artist channels; `videoSummary` only when YouTube provides an AI-generated summary.
- Runs in the cloud only.

### 💡 Tips

- Start with a short keyword list and default `crawlNum` to confirm the fields you need before scaling up.
- Lower `crawlNum` on broad keywords if you only need a representative sample.
- Use `descriptionLinks` and `hashtags` to trace a video's outbound promotion without opening it manually.
- Use the `keyword` field to group results by search term when running many keywords in one task.

## Limitations

Results depend on what the source site exposes at run time. Fields may be empty when a source page does not provide a value. The template enforces the input limits shown above.

## Tips

Use specific, valid inputs and review a representative result before starting a large batch. Remove duplicate inputs when repeated records are not needed.

## FAQ

### What data does this template return?

  "detailContentText": "Yemen's internationally recognised government says its forces carried out more than 20 air strikes on Houthi positions on Saturday, part of a counteroffensive along the western coast after the group, formally known as Ansar Allah, captured several towns and islands in recent days. \n\nThe Houthis seized the port city of Mokha on Thursday, gaining a foothold on the Red Sea coast after government forces withdrew, and fighters reached the strategic Mayun Island in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait on Friday.\n\nAl Jazeera's Youssef Mawry, reporting from Sana'a, says Saudi-backed government forces are relying on air strikes rather than ground battles because troops in the area have largely withdrawn, letting the Houthis advance further. The group has said only Saudi vessels will be blocked from the strait, with other countries free to pass.\n\nSubscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe\nFollow us on Twitter:   / ajenglish  \nFind us on Facebook:   / aljazeera  \nCheck our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/\nCheck out our Instagram page:   / aljazeeraenglish  \nDownload AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile\n\n#Yemen #Houthis #BabElMandeb #RedSea #SaudiArabia #AnsarAllah #AlJazeeraEnglish",
