ScrapingBee simplified our day-to-day marketing and engineering operations a lot. We no longer have to worry about managing our own fleet of headless browsers, and we no longer have to spend days sourcing the right proxy provider
How Developers Use YouTube Metatags
YouTube metatag scraping comes down to three pulls: video metadata like title, tags, and duration, subscriber counts from channel pages, and comment counts per video.
Extract video metadata
Pull YouTube video metadata including title, description, tags, category, duration, and upload date per video. Feeds video-SEO and content-research workflows.
Extract channel subscriber counts
Pull subscriber count and channel growth metrics from YouTube channel pages. Useful for tracking creator audience size and competitor channel comparison.
Extract comment data
Pull YouTube comment counts, comment text samples, and pinned-comment data per video. Useful for engagement-research workflows.

How it works
Manually collecting Metatag data from YouTube is slow, limited and hard to scale. That's why more and more teams choose our API.
Create an account - get instant access to API key and 1,000 free credits to get started
Install our Python SDK (or Node, Go, PHP, Ruby - pick your stack). Pulling YouTube metatags becomes a single function call per page. No proxy rotation, no headless Chrome to manage.
POST or GET the YouTube Metatags URL to our API. We render video and creator pages on YouTube.com, handle anti-bot, and return rendered HTML (or structured JSON via extract_rules or ai_extract_rules).
When scraping YouTube metatags needs more, gain advanced parameters. render_js for JavaScript, stealth_proxy for CAPTCHAs, country_code for geo-targeting, ai_extract_rules for natural-language data extraction.

ScrapingBee helps us to retrieve information from sites that use very sophisticated mechanism to block unwanted traffic, we were struggling with those sites for some time now and I'm very glad that we found ScrapingBee.

Good experience. I found this proxy service more effective compared to previous ones that were being used. It is fast and efficient.

Fantastic service: works flawlessly, best support I've experienced. It just works: and its parsing meta-language is wonderfully powerful. Most importantly, the support I've received has been superlative.
Mike P.,
VP
Excellent service, glad we made the switch! We could always dedicate resources and build our own systems for everything... or we could simply call the scrapingBee API and focus on the data. It makes our work so much easier.
