YouTube Related Videos Scraper fetches recommended / related videos for one or more source YouTube videos and returns structured JSON: related videoId, title, author, views, length, publish time, thumbnail, and URL — plus sourceVideoId so you always know the seed. Accept watch URLs or 11-character IDs; control volume with maxResults (default 40).
Purpose-built for discovery, SEO content mapping, and recommendation-graph research. Start from a competitor’s top video and expand outward to adjacent creators, topics, and formats. Product marketers use it to map the “also watched” neighborhood around a launch video; researchers use it to study YouTube’s recommendation surface.
Each hit is a type: "related" row with pagination page metadata. Multi-video seeds run concurrently; failures are isolated per source. Chain results into YouTube Video Scraper for deep metadata or YouTube Comments Scraper for audience signals on related content.
Turn a single seed video into a structured map of YouTube’s recommendation neighborhood.
