Overview

Export a YouTube channel's entire video catalog plus its channel stats. Paste one or more channel links (or @handles), pick Videos, Shorts or Live streams, and get one clean row per video — title, URL, view count, published date, duration and thumbnail — alongside a channel summary with subscriber count, total videos and description. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull straight from the API.

Perfect for creator and competitor analysis, influencer research, content tracking, media monitoring, trend analysis, and building video datasets for dashboards or LLMs.

What you get

A channel summary row (optional) and one row per video:

Field	Description
`type`	`channel` or `video`
`channelName` / `channelId` / `channelUrl`	The channel
`subscriberCount` / `subscriberCountText`	Subscribers (number + label)
`videoCount`	Total videos on the channel
`description` / `avatar`	Channel about text and avatar (channel row)
`videoId` / `url`	The video and its watch link
`title`	Video title
`viewCount` / `viewCountText`	Views (number + label)
`publishedText`	When it was published (e.g. "3 days ago")
`durationText` / `durationSeconds`	Length
`thumbnail`	Thumbnail image URL
`collectedAt`	When the row was scraped

How to use

1. Add channels

    "@mkbhd"
  ],
  "tab": "videos",
  "includeChannelInfo": true,
  "maxItems": 500
}

2. Choose what to scrape

Which videos — the channel's long-form Videos, Shorts, or Live streams tab.
Include channel info row — add a summary row per channel (subscribers, total videos, description, avatar).
Max videos — cap the total per run (0 = no limit; scrape the whole channel).
