run = client.actor("logical_scrapers~youtube-search-scraper").call(run_input={

    print(item)

Runs are executed on Apify. Create an API token in your Apify account, then call the Actor over REST or with the official client for your language. The same input object works in the Apify console, so you can test interactively before automating.
