README

Official Crawlora client packages for the hosted YouTube API. Access 14 API endpoints covering search, channels, videos, playlists, comments, captions, and transcripts from JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, Java, and PHP. These clients call Crawlora's hosted API; they do not scrape YouTube locally. Requests use your Crawlora account and CRAWLORA_API_KEY; service usage follows your account billing plan. Crawlora is independent from and not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or its owners.

Language packages

For installation and runnable examples, use the README for your language. See the API endpoint and parameter reference for shared operation details.

Create an account at crawlora.net, open the Crawlora console to get an API key, or read the API documentation. Keep CRAWLORA_API_KEY out of source control.
