What is YouTube API?

BrowserAct’s YouTube API lets you extract structured video detail data from YouTube based on a keyword search through a single API request.

You provide KeyWords and an Upload_date filter. BrowserAct automatically runs the workflow in the background, traverses the keyword video results list, opens each video detail page, and returns clean, ready-to-use video metrics directly via API.

This tool is designed for weekly content monitoring, competitor scanning, campaign tracking, and building searchable video intelligence datasets.

What data can you get through YouTube API?

The API extracts structured fields from each video detail page, including channel-level context and video-level performance signals.

Channel fields

channel_title: Channel name displayed on the video page
channel_url: Channel URL
subscribers: Subscriber count shown on the channel

Video fields

video_title: Video title shown on the video page
video_url: Video URL
publish_date: Publish date or time shown on YouTube
view_count: View count shown on YouTube
video_duration: Video duration
comment_count: Total comment count (if available)
like_count: Like count (if available)

Why YouTube API is right for you？

One-call integration

Send video detail metrics directly into your CRM, BI tools, databases, or automation workflows via API.

Search-to-detail extraction

Unlike list-only extraction, this API opens each video page to capture richer fields like duration, likes, and comment counts.

Freshness control

Upload_date lets you focus on recent videos only, keeping monitoring workflows timely and relevant.

Built for workflows

Perfect for trend tracking, weekly content scans, competitor monitoring, and growth analytics.

In short

Search → API call → Video detail data delivered
