Step 2: Run the Actor

步骤2：运行Actor

保存为JSON

> `APIFY_TOKEN` must be set in environment or `.env` file.

**If Apify MCP is available:**

Tool: apify:run-actor Actor: "apidojo~youtube-scraper" Input: { "searchTerms": "https://www.youtube.com/@[COMPETITOR_CHANNEL]", "maxItems": 100 }


**REST API fallback:**
```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~youtube-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": "https://www.youtube.com/@[COMPETITOR_CHANNEL]", "maxItems": 100}'

Wait for

SUCCEEDED

. Fetch dataset:

bash

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID/dataset/items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"

node scripts/run_actor.js
--actor "apidojo~youtube-scraper"
--input '{"param": "value"}'
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json

> `APIFY_TOKEN`必须在环境变量或`.env`文件中设置。

**如果Apify MCP可用：**

工具: apify:run-actor Actor: "apidojo~youtube-scraper" 输入: { "searchTerms": "https://www.youtube.com/@[COMPETITOR_CHANNEL]", "maxItems": 100 }


**REST API备选方案：**
```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~youtube-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": "https://www.youtube.com/@[COMPETITOR_CHANNEL]", "maxItems": 100}'

等待执行状态变为

SUCCEEDED

。获取数据集：

bash

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID/dataset/items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"

Step 3: Classify Results

步骤3：分类结果

classification: GROWING (view rate > 20%) | HEALTHY (10-20%) | PLATEAU (5-10%) | DECLINING (< 5%)

分类: GROWING（观看率>20%）| HEALTHY（10-20%）| PLATEAU（5-10%）| DECLINING（<5%）

Step 4: Score Each Result

步骤4：为每个结果评分

score = channel_health = avg_views/subscriber_count * 100  # view rate; healthy > 10%

score = channel_health = avg_views/subscriber_count * 100  # 观看率；健康值>10%

Step 5: Edge Cases

步骤5：边缘情况

Channels with old viral videos have inflated subscriber counts relative to current performance — use median views from last 20 videos as the current health indicator

Additional fallbacks:

< 20 results: Broaden search terms; remove secondary filters
No results: Verify the search terms are correct; try alternate phrasings
Data quality issues: Remove entries with missing key fields; note count in output

拥有旧爆款视频的频道，其订阅量与当前表现不匹配——使用最近20个视频的中位数观看量作为当前健康指标

其他备选方案：

结果少于20条：扩大搜索词范围；移除次要筛选条件
无结果：验证搜索词是否正确；尝试其他表述
数据质量问题：移除缺失关键字段的条目；在输出中注明数量

Troubleshooting

问题排查

Too few results: Broaden the primary search term; remove restrictive filters. Low quality results: Apply minimum score threshold (≥ 0.50) to filter noise. Actor fails to run: Verify API key; check actor status at apify.com/apidojo.

结果过少：扩大主搜索词范围；移除限制性筛选条件。 结果质量低：应用最低评分阈值（≥0.50）过滤无效数据。 Actor运行失败：验证API密钥；在apify.com/apidojo查看Actor状态。
