Is it possible to scrape a Shorts Hashtag URL like this one using this tool or another way?

https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/makeup/shorts

Yes, we just added this functionality! 🎉 You can now scrape Shorts hashtag , like the one you provided, by including the hashtag directly in the hashtag input of the actor. Simply specify the desired hashtags in the input, and the actor will handle the rest

Hello, providing a quick update. This new feature still appears to have some bugs. Please see below:

  • Most of the meta data field columns are empty, N/A or data not available. Can this be fixed?
  • What is the limit on no. videos per hashtag scrape? One run returned 70 rows of data and the next 700. In both run examples there were 1000s of videos available.

Hi Emma,

Thank you for your feedback! Here’s an update regarding the points you mentioned:

Meta Data Fields: We’ve recently made adjustments so that the title and view count for videos are now included by default, without the need to select the needvideodetails option. Please verify if these fields are now populating correctly in your next run. If not, let us know so we can investigate further.

Number of Videos Per Hashtag Scrape: The number of videos retrieved depends on the desired amount you set. If the scraper stops before reaching this limit, it could mean it has either reached the platform's maximum data availability or encountered an issue with YouTube or Apify during the run. To ensure consistent results, we recommend double-checking the settings and running another test. Let us know if you observe any irregularities.

Feel free to reach out with any additional questions or if the issues persist!

Best regards,

Developer
