How this service works
Pay-per-call public web data for agents: Google Trends, YouTube transcripts, YouTube search, YouTube channel videos, YouTube video details, YouTube comments, YouTube playlists. Pay per successful call in USDC with x402; errors are never charged. No accounts, no API keys. Payments: x402 v2, scheme "exact", USDC on Base (eip155:8453). The payment is verified before the scrape and settled only when the response is 200. Terms: https://scrapemole-api-mainnet.scrapemole.workers.dev/terms
Output
Returns a JSON object with a count field and a videos array. Each video object includes: videoId, url, title, channelName, channelId, channelUrl, channelHandle, viewCount, likeCount, commentCount, durationSeconds, durationText, uploadDate, publishDate, publishedText, thumbnailUrl, description, descriptionSnippet, category, keywords, badges, position, isLive, isShort, isFamilySafe, isVerifiedChannel, searchQuery, and availableCountriesCount. Results can contain up to 50 videos per call.
Example use cases
Competitor video research for marketers
“Search YouTube for 'cold brew coffee maker review' and give me the top 20 results sorted by view count so I can see which channels are dominating that topic.”
Finding recent tutorial videos
“Find YouTube videos about 'Python async programming' uploaded in the last month, sorted by relevance, and list the top 15 with their titles, view counts, and channel names.”
Trend monitoring for content creators
“Search YouTube for 'AI agent tools' and show me the most recent 20 videos so I can see what content is being published right now in that space.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://scrapemole-api-mainnet.scrapemole.workers.dev/v1/youtube/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need YouTube search results without a Google API key or quota limits, want pay-per-call pricing with no account setup, need rich metadata per video (likes, comments, duration, channel info), or want to filter by upload date, duration, or country. Prefer this over the YouTube Data API when you want to avoid quota management or account provisioning, and over generic web scrapers when you want structured, consistently formatted JSON output.
Side effects
- Empty results if the search query returns no YouTube videos
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 header is malformed — no charge applied
- Invalid query parameter (q is required; omitting it returns a 400 error)
- Invalid enum values for sort, duration, or uploaded fields return validation errors
- Limit out of range (must be 1-50) causes a 400 error
- YouTube rate limiting or scraping blocks may cause intermittent 500 errors — not charged
