Query

Taken from the YouTube API Search List Endpoint Documentation:

The q parameter specifies the query term to search for.

Your request can also use the Boolean NOT (-) and OR (|) operators to exclude videos or to find videos that are associated with one of several search terms. For example, to search for videos matching either “boating” or “sailing”, set the q parameter value to boating|sailing. Similarly, to search for videos matching either “boating” or “sailing” but not “fishing”, set the q parameter value to boating|sailing -fishing. Note that the pipe character must be URL-escaped when it is sent in your API request. The URL-escaped value for the pipe character is %7C.

Scrape YouTube Channels from Search Results

If you’re looking for a list of interesting YouTube channels, perhaps to reach out to for sponsorship deals, etc… you can use the YouTube Search API to legally and efficiently extract large lists of YouTube channels based on your criteria.

When using the search API, you’ll want to set the type parameter to channel to tell the YouTube API you only want it to return back channels. From there, you can specify a free text query in the q parameter if interacting with the YouTube API directly. You can also use the form on this page to access the YouTube API with our service and parse the results into downloadable CSV files for immediate use.
