About Us

YouTube Shorts Crawler is an open-source project designed to provide content creators and data analysts with efficient YouTube Shorts video data scraping tools.

Project Background

With the rise of short video platforms, YouTube Shorts has become an important battlefield for content creators. However, YouTube does not provide a convenient way for creators and data analysts to batch retrieve metadata information of Shorts videos.

The YouTube Shorts Crawler project was born in 2023, created by developer Shuqing to solve this problem. This project is a Chrome browser extension that can efficiently scrape YouTube Shorts video metadata, including titles, authors, view counts, likes, and other information.

The project uses a modern technology stack, including TypeScript, React, and Ant Design, ensuring good user experience and code quality.

Core Values

User Privacy

We highly value user privacy. The extension only collects and stores data that users explicitly request to scrape, and all data is saved locally without being uploaded to any servers.

Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continuously improving the extension's functionality and performance. We regularly release updates, fix bugs, and add new features to meet users' evolving needs.

Community Driven

We believe the best products are shaped by users together. We encourage users to provide feedback, suggestions, and requirements to help us build better tools.
