Hi @cardinal_lobster,
If you have a look at the FAQ for this scrapper, you would see than we only scrap the 30 most recent videos of a channel. That's a technical limitation coming from "how" we scrap youtube using pure html code. The advantage of the technique is that it's fast and reliable. There are other youtube scrapper available if you need to collect ALL videos.
This scrapper is more dedicated in scrapping NEW videos on a daily/weekly basis on many channels. What I would suggest you is to scrap only new videos by settings a dateFilter in order to retrieve only videos that you have not scrapped yet Here is an example: { "dateFilter": "2023-09-01", "details": true, "start_urls": [ { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/@crashcourse/videos" } ] }
I don't understand your request regarding the "data posted". The published date of the video is already part of the results returned by the scrapper. See field name "date" in the results: Note that sometimes the date must be estimated from the "X days ago" statement on youtube, so it can happen that the date is not super precise, but it's better than nothing. Here is an example of results for your channel of interest: { "id": "4joZpdXeS4A", "date": "2023-10-03", "title": "Why do we have different skin colors? (Population Genetics): Crash Course Biology #14", "text": "In this episode of Crash Course Biology, we’ll learn about the ways population genetics reveals how groups of ... [trimmed]
