Scrape YouTube

A YouTube video page renders its view count, like count, and description after the initial load. Fetch renders the page fully, then returns those fields as data.

01What you get

• Video title and description. The video's title and full description text.
• Channel name. The channel that published the video.
• View and like counts. Engagement totals at the time of the request.
• Upload date and duration. When the video was published and its length.
• Comment count. Total comments shown on the video.

02Frequently asked questions

Does this work on any public video?

Yes, on any public video URL.

Can I pull a channel's video list, not just one video?

Point Fetch at the channel's videos page for the list, then individual video URLs for full detail.

Does this need a YouTube API key?

No, Fetch reads the public page directly.
