Scrape Creators API / Channel Videos

ScrapeCreators tool scrapecreators-youtube-channel-videos on looot: input fields, $0.00188 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Fetches a paginated list of videos uploaded by a YouTube channel, including each video’s title, URL, thumbnail, view count (views), publish date, duration, and description. Supports sorting by latest or popular, and use the continuationToken to page through all results. Optionally include extras like like count, comment count, and descriptions for each video.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
channelId string no YouTube channel ID.
continuationToken string no Continuation token to get more videos. Get ‘continuationToken’ from previous response.
handle string no YouTube channel handle.
includeExtras string no This will get you the like + comment count and the description. To get the full details of the video, use the /v1/youtube/video endpoint. Honestly, if you use this param, the error rate is higher. We might deprecate this param in the future. Example: “false”
is_paid_promotions string no Set to ‘true’ to search YouTube’s public paid product placement / sponsorship / endorsement search surface. This returns normal YouTube videos where the creator declared paid promotion. Cannot be combined with filter, uploadDate, sortBy, type, duration, or includeExtras. Example: “false”
sort string no Sort by latest or popular. Example: “latest”

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect scrapecreators-youtube-channel-videos prints its fields.

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"scrapecreators-youtube-channel-videos","input":{"sort":"latest","handle":"<handle>","channelId":"<channelId>","includeExtras":"false","continuationToken":"<continuationToken>","is_paid_promotions":"false"},"wait":30}'
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "scrapecreators-youtube-channel-videos",
    input: {
      sort: "latest",
      handle: "<handle>",
      channelId: "<channelId>",
      includeExtras: "false",
      continuationToken: "<continuationToken>",
      is_paid_promotions: "false",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),

print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:youtube.channel.videos as endpointId; see the job page.
