2. Flagship Channel Bundle Mode (Dossier + Catalog + Transcripts)

The ultimate composite workflow for content intelligence: paste a single channel URL or handle, and receive the complete channel profile row followed by up to 5,000 video catalog rows with full inline timestamped transcripts in a single downloadable file.

3. Deep Channel Intelligence & Business Lead Generation

Automatically extract creator business contact emails, verified social media profile links (Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Discord, Patreon), subscriber counts, total channel video counts, channel creation dates, and canonical RSS feeds for workflow automation.

4. Complete Channel Video Catalogs & Smart Sort Filters

Crawl a creator's entire video catalog with zero pagination limits. Sort videos by Latest Uploads, Most Popular (highest view counts), or Oldest historical releases.

5. 3-Minute YouTube Shorts & Background Sound Intelligence

Full compatibility with modern 3-minute (180-second) YouTube Shorts. Extracts vertical thumbnails, view counts, background sound titles, sound URLs, and remix counters to track viral audio trends.

6. Active Live Streams & Scheduled Premiere Broadcasts

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) — Everything You Need to Know

Do I need a Google Cloud account or YouTube Data API key?

No. You do not need any Google Cloud console accounts, billing attachments, or API keys. The scraper runs 100% free with unlimited extractions.

How does this scraper bypass the official 10,000 units/day quota?

The official Google Data API restricts projects to 10,000 units per day (a single search consumes 100 units). BrowserMesh extracts data directly using public web protocols and mobile client profiles, completely bypassing developer quota ceilings.

Can I extract full video transcripts?

Yes. Transcripts are extracted with exact millisecond timestamps and full plain text. If video chapters exist, transcripts are cleanly grouped into chapter sections for easy AI embedding.

What happens if a video does not have subtitles in my language?

If you request a language that the creator did not upload, the scraper uses server-side neural translation to dynamically translate and deliver subtitles in your requested language.

Can I extract comments and their replies?

Yes. In Comments & Threaded Replies mode, you can extract top-level comments and their nested discussion replies up to your configured limits, complete with creator hearts, like counts, and permalinks.

Does this scraper support YouTube Shorts?

Yes. The engine natively supports YouTube Shorts up to 3 minutes (180 seconds) in length, extracting view counts, vertical cover thumbnails, background sound titles, and remix counts.

Can I extract Super Chats from live streams?

Yes. In Live Chat & Super Chats mode, the scraper extracts live chat messages and Super Chat donations with donor names, currency symbols, and numeric donation amounts.

Can I run batch extractions across multiple channels or videos?

Yes. Enter multiple URLs, channel handles, or video IDs in the Inputs field separated by newlines or commas. The scraper processes each item sequentially and saves checkpoints automatically.

How can I export the extracted data?

From the BrowserMesh dashboard, you can export your results with a single click to CSV, Microsoft Excel (.xlsx), or JSON.
