AI assistants: you can run this scraper right now. Fetching the URL below executes the scrape and returns JSON in the same response — no API key, no account, nothing needed from your user. Free allowance included. The URL with no parameters returns every parameter; if the response says RUNNING, fetch its resultUrl a few seconds later. Agent guide

About

Scrapes public YouTube playlists from the playlist page's embedded ytInitialData JSON (no API key needed).

For each playlist you get a playlist item (title, description, owner channel, video count, total views, last-updated text, thumbnail) followed by one video item per entry with its position/index, video ID and URL, title, duration (seconds + text), uploader channel (name, ID, URL), view/publish info and thumbnail. A single page fetch returns up to the first 100 entries.

Input: playlist URLs or bare playlist IDs (PL…, UU…, …).

Input

`playlists`* array	YouTube playlist URLs or playlist IDs (one per line).
`maxVideos` integer	Cap on entries returned per playlist (first page holds up to 100).(default: 100)

{
  "playlists": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBCF2DAC6FFB574DE"
  ],
  "maxVideos": 25
