YouTube Channel Collector

Collect public video and channel metadata through YouTube Data API

What does this node do?

The YouTube Channel Collector gathers public video metadata and associated channel resources through YouTube Data API v3. It supports three modes:

  • channel: collect recent videos from a channel ID, handle, URL, or name.
  • query: collect recent videos matching a search query.
  • urls: resolve an explicit list of video IDs or URLs without search.

Configuration

YouTube integration integration required

Google OAuth connection used for YouTube Data API requests.

value string required

Channel identifier, search query, or comma/newline-separated video URLs, depending on the selected mode.

mode string required default: channel

One of channel, query, or urls.

Maximum videos number default: 25

Number of videos to return, from 1 to 200.

Maximum pages number default: 2

Search pages to request, from 1 to 5. This does not apply to urls mode.

Output

videos array

Public YouTube video resources in collection order.

channels array

Deduplicated channel resources associated with returned videos.

pagination json

Requested limits, fetched page count, and returned video count.

Availability and quota

Public views, likes, comments, and subscriber statistics are returned when YouTube exposes them. Private YouTube Analytics metrics are outside Data API v3. search.list typically costs 100 quota units per page; videos.list and channels.list typically cost 1 unit per request.

Info

Search is bounded to 200 videos and five pages. Use urls mode when you already know the videos to avoid search quota costs.
