For AI agents & developers

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

Searches YouTube and extracts rich video results from the page's embedded ytInitialData JSON (no API key needed).

For every result you get the video ID and URL, title, description snippet, channel (name, ID, URL, verified badge, avatar), view count (number + raw text), relative publish time, duration (seconds + text), thumbnail, badges and live status.

Input: one or more search queries, an optional result cap per query, and a sort order (relevance, upload date, view count or rating).

Input

`queries`* array	One search query per line. Each query costs one page fetch.
`maxResults` integer	Cap on videos returned per query (a page holds ~20).(default: 20)
`sortBy` select	Result ordering.(default: "relevance")

{
  "queries": [
    "typescript tutorial"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "sortBy": "relevance"
}
