Download YouTube Videos, Extract Metadata, Transcripts, and Comments for Analysis
Add one or more YouTube URLs to download. You can mix different types of URLs in a single run.
Search YouTube for videos matching these queries. Each query returns up to maxVideos results. Combined with startUrls if both are provided.
Choose your preferred video quality. If the selected quality is not available for a video, the agent will automatically fall back to the closest lower quality.
When enabled (default), the agent downloads the video file and stores it in Key-Value Store. Disable this to extract only metadata, captions, and comments without downloading the actual video -- significantly faster and cheaper.
When enabled, the agent downloads the highest quality thumbnail image for each video and stores it in the Key-Value Store. The download URL is included in the output.
Limit the total number of videos to download. This is especially useful when downloading from playlists or channels to control costs and run time.
Custom filename template for downloaded files. Available placeholders: {videoId}, {title}, {quality}, {channelName}, {date}, {type}. Invalid filename characters are automatically removed.
When enabled (default), each result will include full video metadata: title, description, channel info, view/like counts, duration, tags, thumbnail URL, chapters, and category. When disabled, only the source URL and download link are returned.

This tool downloads YouTube videos in your preferred quality, extracts detailed metadata like view counts, descriptions, and channel information, and can even pull full transcripts and comments. It's ideal for content analysis, competitive research, and building datasets for AI applications.
This YouTube All-in-One Downloader & Scraper is a versatile tool for anyone needing to acquire data from YouTube. Whether you're a content creator, marketer, researcher, or data analyst, it provides structured information and media files directly from video URLs or search results. ### What You Can Extract The tool goes beyond basic video downloads. You can choose to download the actual video file in various qualities, from 'highest' down to 360p, or even just the audio. Beyond the video itself, it extracts rich metadata for each entry, including the video's title, full description, channel details (name, URL, subscriber count, total video count), view and like counts, duration, upload date, categories, and tags. You can also opt to download the highest quality thumbnail image. ### Transcripts and Comments for Deeper Insights For deeper content analysis, the tool can extract captions and subtitles, providing the full transcript text. You can specify a preferred language for captions and even auto-translate them using YouTube's built-in translation feature. This is particularly useful for understanding global audiences or preparing content for different regions. Additionally, it can extract top comments, including author, text, like count, and timestamp, with an option to include all replies for a complete conversation context. ### Optimized for AI and LLM Workflows A unique feature is the 'LLM-ready' output format. When selected, the output is structured as a flat dataset, optimized for AI and Large Language Model pipelines. This clean format, including transcript text and word count, is perfect for tasks like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), creating embeddings, or fine-tuning AI models. ### Monitoring and Scalability For ongoing content tracking, 'Monitor Mode' allows the tool to remember previously processed videos. On subsequent runs, it only processes new content from specified channels or playlists, saving time and resources. You can process videos in parallel and configure retry attempts for failed downloads, ensuring reliable data collection. Proxy configuration is enabled by default to help avoid rate limiting and geo-restrictions, though this does incur additional costs.
