Inputs

Field	What it does	Type
`searchQueries`	Keywords to search YouTube for, one per line (e.g. "lofi hip hop", "python tutorial"). Each query returns up to Max videos. Leave empty if you only want channel videos. Empty results usually mean the query genuinely has no matches, or that geo-blocking / anti-bot triggered for the run IP — try again with the residential proxy enabled.	array
`channelUrls`	YouTube channels to pull videos from, one per line. Accepts full channel URLs (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/@LofiGirl, https://www.youtube.com/c/ChannelName, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSJ4gkVC6NrvII8umztf0Ow), @handles (e.g. @LofiGirl), or raw UC channel ids (e.g. UCSJ4gkVC6NrvII8umztf0Ow). Each channel returns up to Max of its newest videos.	array
`maxItems`	Maximum number of videos to return per search query and per channel. Pagination via continuation tokens is used to reach this number. Values up to a few hundred are realistic; very large values (toward 1000) require many paginated requests and raise the chance of YouTube rate-limiting or blocking the run IP — keep a residential proxy enabled for high values.	integer
`notionConnector`	Optional. Write each video as a page into your Notion when the run finishes. Authorize a Notion connector once in Settings → API & Integrations → MCP connectors, then pick it here. Leave empty to skip (default) — results are always saved to the dataset regardless.	string
`notionParentId`	Optional. The Notion data source ID of the database to write into (only used if a Notion connector is set). Leave empty to create the pages privately in your workspace instead.	string
