Odysee scraper API

Odysee API for public video search, channels, and trends

The Odysee API is built for video analytics, content research and trend features. Every search result carries claim id, title, description, thumbnail, duration in seconds, release time, tags and the signing channel. Video detail adds the full metadata record, and the channel endpoint resolves any LBRY channel by name with its uploads already paginated.

Search public videos with full-text queries, 1-based paging and a page size up to 50.

Open any video by its LBRY URL for title, description, duration, release time and tags.

Resolve channels by name for title, website, avatar and a paginated uploads list.

Read the LBRY trending feed for what is being watched across Odysee.

Frequently asked questions

No. Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Odysee. The Odysee API returns structured JSON from public LBRY network content through a Scrappa API key.

Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits each month. After that, each request costs one credit, which works out to $0.20 to $0.30 per 1,000 requests depending on the credit pack or plan. Failed requests are never charged.

Videos take a LBRY URL with claim name and claim id separated by #, for example ethereum#f1c58acab96c50feb8db1003064c09631e7b7275. Channels take the channel name without the leading @, for example lbry for @lbry.

Use the 1-based page parameter with page_size up to 50. The response returns the requested page, the total items and has_more, which is true while page is below the upstream total pages. A valid empty result is a successful response.
