Scrape a YouTube channel's uploads with views, likes and comments

Name a YouTube channel. RouterGrowth reads its uploads and returns rows with the link, upload date, views, likes, comment count and description of each video. No browser automation, no API quota and nothing to fix when YouTube changes its pages: the agent gets the list and compares, ranks or reports.

Real run: 6 records $0.00525 per post social.posts MCP · REST · CLI

Ask your agent

Scrape Shopify's last 20 YouTube uploads and tell me which topics get the most views.

Connect RouterGrowth once, then ask in plain words. New workspaces start with $1 of credit. Get a key or read the setup guide.

A real run

What does it return?

One call to social.posts (social posts & content), run through RouterGrowth on October 19, 2026. These are the first rows it returned; fields that name a person are masked.

Six videos read from Shopify's channel, from June to August 2026, with views between about 1,900 and 6,100.

Step by step

How do you do it?

  1. Connect RouterGrowth once

    Add the MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. A new workspace starts with $1 of credit, enough to run this example many times.

  2. Name the channel

    Give the @handle or the channel URL and how many videos to read.

  3. Get the uploads

    social.posts returns each video with link, date, views, likes, comment count and description.

  4. Compare channels

    Ask the agent to put two or three brand channels side by side by views per video.

Price

What does it cost?

List prices on YouTube, read from the catalog when this page was built. The exact figure is quoted before every run, and a monthly plan lowers it.

In practice

What do you ask it?

You describe the job; the agent picks the calls, shows the price and runs them.

Scrape Shopify's last 20 YouTube uploads and tell me which topics get the most views.

Compare the YouTube channels of three ecommerce platforms by average views over their last 15 videos.

Get the subscriber count of these channels, then their latest uploads.

Connect

Worth knowing

What should you know first?

Order is the channel's

Videos come back as the channel lists them; sort on created_at when the order matters.

Description, not transcript

The text field is the video description. Spoken content is not returned.

Billed per video

The quote is shown before the run and the charge covers the videos returned.
