What the reviews say

Fast and easy to use with generally good video detail coverage, but it is unreliable and often returns incomplete or inconsistent (empty) results.

Is the data right1 praised · 1 complained2generally accurate extraction of fieldsinconsistent subtitle and transcript quality“wonderful tool, it has reduced my work very much, very fast and accurate and easy” — 5/5
What it costs0 praised · 1 complained1credits wasted due to poor results“I was ecpecting to scrape Channels - because it says "extract and download channel name, ...", but instead I got Videos. I needed only channels that have at least one video (most recent, logically) with my keyword. However, I got 5-6 results for the same channel. Which means I wasted the credits. Also, no contact email srcaped, although Apify ai chat recommended this scraper for me to get emails. So now I need a) to clean up the list b) to spend time looking for another scraper and pay for it to get what i need - emails names/links and emails to contact the channel owners. Besides, I feel like a some of the scraped data was not needed, but not sure that I could turn it off when launching the task. The team can feel free to reach out to me if they want to chat about the agent improvements.” — 3/5
