Overview

Extracts the current list of trending videos on YouTube for any country. Get video titles, view counts, likes, and channel data to analyze viral content and spot emerging trends.

This tool provides a direct way to collect data on the videos currently featured on YouTube's "Trending" page for a specific country. It's designed for marketers, content strategists, and researchers who need to understand which videos are capturing public attention in different regions. Instead of manually checking the trending tab, you can select a country and retrieve a structured list of the videos that YouTube's algorithm is promoting. The output includes core performance metrics like view, like, and comment counts, alongside essential metadata such as the video title, description, category, and publication date. You also get details about the channel that posted the video, including its name, handle, and subscriber count. This data is useful for spotting cultural trends, identifying popular content formats, and performing competitive analysis. For media buyers, it can help identify channels and videos that are currently popular for ad placements. For content creators, it offers a window into what's resonating with audiences in specific markets, providing inspiration for new material.
