Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Youtube API
Can I scrape YouTube Shorts from the dashboard?
Yes. The YouTube shorts workflow supports a channel's shorts tab and lets you choose `latest`, `popular`, or `oldest` ordering.
Does the dashboard scrape replies for YouTube comments?
No. The current YouTube comment flows collect top-level comments only, with reply counts included when available.
What inputs can I use to identify a channel or video?
Channel runs accept a channel URL, handle, or channel ID. Video runs accept a video URL or video ID.
Can I collect just comments without the video metadata?
Yes. Use the dedicated YouTube comments route if you only need top-level comment data, or the full video route if you want metadata and comments together.
