How this service works

Example use cases
Influencer content audit
“Get me the 100 most popular YouTube Shorts from the channels 'mkbhd' and 'marques' — I want to see what short-form content is performing best for them.”
Competitor monitoring for brand
“Pull the last 30 YouTube Shorts from 'NikeSportswear' uploaded in the past 14 days, sorted by NEWEST, so I can track what they've been posting.”
Viral Shorts trend research
“Scrape up to 200 YouTube Shorts from the channel 'https://www.youtube.com/c/Apify' sorted by POPULAR so I can analyze which topics get the most traction.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://stableapify.dev/api/actors/streamers/youtube-shorts-scraper/callWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract YouTube Shorts metadata from specific channels at scale, especially when you want per-call micropayment pricing via x402/USDC rather than managing an Apify subscription. Ideal for one-off scraping tasks, agent workflows that need channel-specific Shorts data, or competitive intelligence gathering without a long-term subscription commitment.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent channel username returns empty results or error
- maxResultsShorts exceeding available Shorts returns fewer items than requested
- oldestPostDate conflicts with sorting parameter causing auto-reset to NEWEST sort
- Payment failure via x402 prevents actor from starting
- Actor timeout if a large maxResultsShorts is requested on a very active channel
- Invalid date format for oldestPostDate returns validation error
