How it will work: 3 steps

Follow us on ApifyThe tool is built and waits in the queue for the Apify Store. Apify is the cloud platform where our tools run.
Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: @apify in Channels. Each start is one run.
Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

YouTube Channel Videos Export gets all videos of one or more YouTube channels: title, publish date, duration, views, likes, comments, tags and a Shorts flag. You paste channel links, @handles or channel IDs and add your own free YouTube Data API v3 key. You get one clean table row per video, newest uploads first.

Finds the channel with the YouTube Data API (channels.list) and reads its name, @handle, subscribers and video count.
Reads the channel's public uploads list, 50 videos at a time, newest first (playlistItems.list).
Reads the full data of those videos, 50 at a time (videos.list), and saves one row per video.
Marks each video as a Short or not with the channel's own Shorts list.
Accepts https://www.youtube.com/@handle, /channel/UC…, /user/name and /c/name links, plain @handles and UC… channel IDs. Up to 100 channels per run.
The same channel given twice is exported once.
A channel that does not exist gets a free not_found row with your original line. A video link or a non-YouTube link also gets a not_found row that says why.
null means "no value from YouTube" (for example, hidden likes). It is never written as 0.

Good for

You need all videos of a channel, or its last N videos, in a table with real numbers.
You compare several channels: what they post, how often, and which videos work.
You want an official, stable data source with a clear quota, not a scraper that can break.

Not a good fit

You have no API key and do not want one. This Actor does not work without a key.
You need comments, transcripts or search results. See Related Actors.
You need private, unlisted or members-only videos. The Actor sees only public uploads.
You need view history from the past. YouTube only gives the current numbers.

Questions

Do I need a YouTube API key?

Yes. You make a free key in a Google project. The Actor does not log in to YouTube.

How many videos can I export?

Up to 100 channels and 20,000 videos per channel per run.

How does it find Shorts?

It reads the channel's own Shorts list. If it cannot, isShort is null.

What if my daily quota runs out?

The Actor keeps the saved rows and stops. Run the rest after the quota resets.

Do I need a YouTube or Google account?

You need a Google account to make the free API key. The Actor does not log in to YouTube and does not use cookies.

Does it cost Google money?

No. The YouTube Data API is free within the daily quota. You pay only the Apify price above.

How do you know which videos are Shorts?

YouTube keeps a list of Shorts for each channel. The Actor reads that list for the same time range. This list is not a documented Google feature; if it cannot be read, isShort is null, not false.

Can I export live streams?

Yes. liveStatus says live, upcoming or was_live. For a live or upcoming stream durationSec is null; a finished stream has its real length.

Is personal data included?

Only public channel and video data that YouTube shows on the channel page. No viewer data and no comments.

Task	Input	Key fields	Next step
Audit a competitor channel	the channel, `maxVideos` 1,000+	`publishedAt`, `views`, `durationSec`, `isShort`	Find posting rhythm and top formats
Compare creators before a deal	several channels, `publishedAfter` `90 days`	`views`, `likes`, `comments`, `engagementRate`	Rank creators by recent engagement

Use the Shorts flag to split Shorts from long videos.
Raise the run timeout when you export several large channels.

Limits and good to know

Data comes from the YouTube Data API v3 under your own key and Google project. Please follow the YouTube API Services Terms of Service. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.

Up to 100 channels and up to 20,000 videos per channel per run. With the default 300-second timeout and 256 MB memory, 8,000 videos of one channel took about 1 minute. An earlier full test of 20,000 videos finished in about 3 minutes
For several large channels in one run, raise the run timeout. The Actor stops 15 seconds before the timeout, keeps all saved rows and ends as PARTIAL with reason TIMEOUT. The run still SUCCEEDED
If your daily quota runs out during a run, the Actor keeps the rows it saved, adds a free quota_exceeded row, ends as PARTIAL with reason QUOTA_LIMIT, and the run SUCCEEDED. Run the rest after the quota resets
If Google fails for 3 channels in a row, the run keeps saved rows and stops with reason SOURCE_ERROR
Rows come in the order of the channel's uploads list: newest uploads first. A video uploaded early but published later by schedule can appear a little out of date order
Private, deleted and members-only videos in the uploads list are skipped and are not charged. The run summary counts them
Numbers are live at fetchedAt and change all the time. YouTube rounds channelSubscribers
