Likes, Comments & Thumbnail are missing from the API response

Rohan Sawant (ct83) opened this issue

Previously until the last 2-3 weeks ago, this scraper used to have the following fields.

  1. Number of Likes
  2. Number of Comments
  3. Thumbnail of the Video

Now all of these 3 fields are removed.

We really urgently need these fields for a large scale enterprise application we are about to deploy on Monday. Is there a way to get them back?

They are included in the response fields of the YouTube Scraper (streamers/youtube-scraper) but that one is 5x more expensive than the current one.

Can we please get some help on this.

Hi Rohan,

the previous version had wrong settings that we fixed recently. That version was scraping videos' detail pages, where Number of Likes and Number of Comments come from. The point of this actor is just to scrape channel pages. So to get likes and comments, you will need to use YouTube Scraper (streamers/youtube-scraper). I apologize for this breaking change.
