FAQ

Does this extract business emails automatically?

Yes — contact_emails extracts email addresses from the channel description text. Availability depends on whether the creator has publicly listed contact information in their profile.

The channel_links array captures all external links from the channel's "About" section — including website, social media, Patreon, and other linked resources with title, URL, and domain.

Can I target specific niches or industries?

Yes — use industry-specific keywords in the keyword field (e.g., "SaaS marketing", "electric vehicles", "fitness influencer") and sort by view_count to identify the top channels in any niche.

What is the difference between Profile and Video pricing?

Each matched video returns one channel Profile ($0.0076) and one Video record ($0.000046). The channel profile includes subscriber data, emails, and links; the video record includes performance metrics for the matched video.
