AmazonFrom Request to Clean JSON
You write one line. We do everything between the request and the data.
You send
One API call
GET the YouTube endpoint with your key. That's all your code does.
We handle
Proxies · captchas · parsing
Residential exit, anti-bot walls, JS rendering and extraction, all server-side, on us.
You get
Clean JSON
A structured object every time. No HTML, no scraping code, no maintenance.
The YouTube Trending Shorts endpoint is one API call: send a single call with no required parameters with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull the Shorts trending on YouTube right now, recomputed live on every call, with view counts and the channel behind each. 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.

Scraping YouTube trending shorts in three steps
Create a free account
Sign up and top up any amount. The balance pays for every HProxy product and never expires.
Grab your API key
One key from the dashboard authenticates every scraper, YouTube trending shorts included.
Call the endpoint
Send the target to the YouTube Trending Shorts endpoint and read the JSON. That is the whole integration.
No captchas, ever
Anti-bot walls, JS rendering and rate limits are handled server-side. You call an API, that is the whole job.
Residential-backed
Every request exits through HProxy's own residential network, so it looks like a real user on a real device.
Pay per call
No subscription, no seat licenses. Calls are billed from your balance and the balance never expires.
Fresh on every call
Responses are scraped live at request time, no stale cache dressed up as data.
Errors are free
Blocked, errored or timed-out calls are not charged. A target that does not exist counts as a call, because the platform still had to be asked.
Scales with you
From one call to millions: same endpoint, same price curve, volume discounts as you grow.
What people build with it
Catch a trend on YouTube while it is still climbing.
Feed a trend dashboard that refreshes on every call.
