What is Find YouTube Video URLs Action?
Find YouTube Video URLs is a research action that retrieves video URLs from YouTube search results or channel pages. Given a search query or channel URL, it returns a list of matching video URLs with metadata. This action is the foundation for video research workflows — first collect the URLs, then use other actions like Find YouTube Transcript to analyze the content.
The action returns structured data including video URLs, titles, view counts, publication dates, and thumbnail URLs. Marketing teams can use it to monitor competitor YouTube channels, find industry content for analysis, or build datasets of videos on specific topics. Combined with transcript extraction, this creates a powerful pipeline for turning YouTube content into actionable intelligence at scale.
This action uses waterfall enrichment to query multiple premium data providers in sequence, delivering higher match rates than single-source alternatives. Learn more about how waterfall enrichment works.
