Overview
The node "Scrape Creators" provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including YouTube. Specifically, the "Search YouTube Videos by Keyword" operation allows users to search for YouTube videos based on a keyword query. This is useful for scenarios such as content discovery, market research, trend analysis, or monitoring specific topics on YouTube.
For example, a user can input a keyword like "Funny videos" and retrieve a list of relevant YouTube videos matching that query, up to a specified limit.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Query | The search term or keyword used to find YouTube videos. Example: "Funny videos". |
| Limit | Maximum number of video results to return. For instance, setting 50 returns up to 50 videos. |
Output
The output contains a JSON array of video objects matching the search query. Each object typically includes metadata about a YouTube video such as title, description, video ID, channel information, publish date, and other relevant details provided by the scraping API.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the code), it would likely represent media files or thumbnails related to the videos, but this is not indicated here.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for accessing the Scrape Creators API.
- The node sends requests to
https://api.scrapecreators.comwith appropriate headers including the API key. - No additional environment variables or external services are explicitly required beyond the API key.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication failures.
- Exceeding the API rate limits may result in errors or incomplete data.
- Providing an empty or invalid query string might return no results or errors.
- Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate problems with the API key; verify the key is correct and active.
- Rate limit exceeded errors suggest waiting before retrying or upgrading the API plan.
- Input validation errors mean required properties like "Query" or "Limit" are missing or malformed.
