Every filter the YouTube Data API exposes, in one place. Search videos, channels & playlists; narrow by date, region, duration, license, category and more; then refine locally by views, likes & length. Runs entirely in your browser.

query builder/search

No API key. Builds a youtube.com search link from YouTube's own filters and opens it. No quota, unlimited use, fewer filters.

Got more than one key? Separate them with spaces to auto-rotate when one runs out of quota.

Heads up: static site, so the key lives in your browser only (localStorage) and is sent only to Google. Restrict it to the YouTube Data API v3 + your domain in the Google Cloud console ↗. Full setup guide →

A better YouTube search, with the filters YouTube hides

zerodig is a free, advanced YouTube search tool. It exposes every filter the YouTube Data API offers and adds the ones YouTube's own search will not: filter by view count (down to near zero-view videos), upload date range, duration, likes, definition, license and category, then sort results any way you like. Search videos, channels and playlists in one place.

Prefer no setup? Switch to YouTube URL mode: it builds a youtube.com search link straight from YouTube's own filter parameters, so you get better YouTube search filters with no API key and no quota.

Everything runs in your browser. No account, no server, no tracking. Read the docs for the full filter reference and setup guide.
