YouTube Playlist Scraper API

The YouTube Playlist endpoint is one API call: send a playlist ID with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull a YouTube playlist in full: every video in playlist order with title, duration and channel, plus the playlist owner. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when YouTube changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.

The call

One GET, and the playlist comes back as JSON.

Your key goes in one header. 1 required parameter, and the answer is the object below it.

How it works

Scraping YouTube playlist, in three steps.

You write one line. Proxies, anti-bot walls, rendering and parsing happen on our side.

YouTube playlist questions

Answered before you ask.

The reference

Send one authenticated HTTPS request to the YouTube Playlist endpoint with a playlist ID and your HProxy API key. Pull a YouTube playlist in full: every video in playlist order with title, duration and channel, plus the playlist owner. No proxies, no headless browser and no parsing on your side. The response is ready-to-use JSON.

This endpoint is 0.15¢ per successful call, which is $1.49 per 1,000. It bills from your HProxy balance with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Errors are retried and never charged; a lookup whose target does not exist counts as a call.

The API only accesses publicly available YouTube data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and YouTube's terms for your use case.

A structured JSON object with the full playlist data YouTube exposes publicly. See the fields listed above. The schema is consistent across calls, so you integrate once and rely on it.

No. Every call runs on HProxy's own residential network behind the scenes, so requests look like real users. The proxy layer is already included in the per-call price.

Docs and AI

Connect your scraper to an AI, any time.

The whole Scraper API is published as markdown, so an assistant reads every endpoint, every parameter and a real response without a key and writes your integration. And because a scrape is one GET that answers in JSON, an agent can run the scraper itself, on its own schedule, with your key.

The API as markdown

Paste /llms/scraper-api.txt into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot: every endpoint and the whole catalog, in one file. No key and no account to read it.

An agent can call it

One GET with your key returns structured JSON, so an agent scrapes on its own schedule. No browser to drive, no parser to keep alive between runs.

More on the YouTube Playlist API

What the YouTube Playlist endpoint returns

Pull a YouTube playlist in full: every video in playlist order with title, duration and channel, plus the playlist owner. The JSON object carries items[], itemCount and owner. Nothing is summarised away on our side, so what you read in the response is what the YouTube playlist page itself holds.

What you send to the YouTube Playlist API

The call takes a playlist ID. Required: playlist_id. Your key travels in the X-API-Key header, the response is JSON, and the call is billed at 0.15¢, $1.49 per 1,000.

Posts and media on other platforms

The same posts and media data is available on 13 other platforms: TikTok Video, Facebook Profile Reels, Instagram Post, LinkedIn Company Posts, Twitter / X User Tweets, Reddit Subreddit Posts, Threads User Posts, Pinterest Pin, Twitch User Videos, Bluesky User Posts, Spotify Track, Truth Social User Posts and Kick Clip. They share this endpoint's JSON shape, its per-call billing and your one API key, so moving from YouTube to another network is a change of URL rather than a second integration.

Is scraping YouTube playlist allowed?

The endpoint reads publicly available YouTube data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser without logging in. It does not touch private accounts or anything behind a password. How you then use the data is yours to keep lawful, under the rules that apply to you and to YouTube.

Ready when you are.

Your dashboard is ten seconds away. No sales call, no subscription, no minimum.
