1 channel has 22,000 videos in total.

What is the limit of scraptube?
I am using it to get all video links at once from YouTube channels. Channels that have a lot of videos. Because humanly it is not possible, we need software to do so. But scraptube can't recognize it.

I just want to know why. Is it possible to get 22,000 video links at once or not?

This uses the v1 API that limits how many pulls you can do per result set (50 max per page). There's no theoretical limit besides when Youtube decides to block access for DDoS'ing.

So 22,000 / 50 = 440 seconds minimum to pull all the videos using v1 API.

You can pull more with v3 API but there's API limits there as well and you need a API key to do anything with it.

Thank you for your reply. But there should be a way, I'll definitely figure it out. Thank you!

I mean, I just told you how. You use v3 API with an API key. There's limits on it as well but not as restrictive as v1. Limits are in place to maintain platform stability on their end. Can you imagine a few thousand people suddenly trying to pull 20,000+ records over REST? There's no platform that will allow you to do that.
