Retrieve content from Youtube videos and not shorts

How To
1

Hello,

I’d like to retrieve content from Youtube videos. I’ve created an automation that allows me to do this but I have a problem: this automation also retrieves YT shorts and I just want to retrieve the long videos and not the shorts. Is there a way of sorting between shorts and long videos?
Thank you for your answers.

Hey Remy,

youtube servers don’t distinguish between shorts and other videos. Server side its all the same.

For the most part shorts have the corresponding tag #short (or something like this) in them and for the most part they are under 60 secs. So maybe you can filter out only videos longer than 60 secs and only videos that don’t have #short in the name and/or description.

Thanks for this response, I’m going to try it with these filters
