Social Blade Scraper — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram & Twitch

The Social Blade Scraper extracts public creator statistics from Social Blade for YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, and Facebook.

For every creator you get a complete snapshot — subscribers or followers, total views, uploads, the Social Blade letter grade, global/country/category ranks, linked social accounts, up to 31 days of daily history, growth over time, and earnings estimates — all in one structured dataset you can export to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

It's the only Social Blade Actor on Apify that does both jobs in one place: look up the exact creators you name, and discover the top creators across all five platforms.

What does the Social Blade Scraper do?

This Actor scrapes public creator statistics from Social Blade and outputs them as a unified, cross-platform dataset you can export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML, or pull straight from the Apify API.

• Two modes in one Actor — Look up specific creators by handle/URL, or Discover top creators via ranked leaderboards.
• All five platforms — YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, and Facebook, side by side in a single run.
• Profile + history + growth + earnings — full snapshot, up to 31 days of daily history, 1/7/14/30-day growth deltas, and YouTube earnings estimates.
• No login, no API key, no paid Social Blade account — reads only publicly visible data.

It does not scrape private or Social Blade Pro–only data, and it does not require your Social Blade credentials.

Why use the Social Blade Scraper?

• 🏆 Ranked leaderboards on every platform — discover the top creators on YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, and Facebook.
• 📈 Derived metrics included — pre-computed growth deltas and earnings estimates, not just raw counts.
• 🔎 Influencer discovery & vetting — shortlist creators by grade, audience size, and 30-day growth; spot paid-follower red flags via flat daily history.
• 💰 Sponsorship & campaign pricing — sanity-check rate cards against independent earnings and rank tiers; build nano/micro/mid/macro creator tiers.
• 📊 Creator-economy research — track audience and view growth across the top creators in any category and country; compare cross-platform reach for one creator.
• 📅 Competitive & cohort tracking — schedule a fixed creator list weekly to build history beyond 31 days and surface rank/grade momentum shifts.
• 🎯 Lead generation for talent agencies — build country-filtered shortlists of creators above a follower threshold with verification signals.

How much does it cost to scrape Social Blade?

You pay per creator result — there's no charge for empty runs, and small look-ups cost only a few cents. A single profile (with or without 31 days of history) counts as one result, so a 100-creator run is 100 results. In rankings mode, results multiply across platforms × countries × categories × list size, so use Maximum results as a safety cap on larger discovery runs. See the Pricing tab for the current per-result rate; the Apify free tier is enough to trial the Actor at no cost.

Tips for best results

• Keep history off for large pure-discovery runs to keep them fast and cheap; turn it on when you need trends, growth, or earnings.
• For YouTube, a @handle, channel URL, or UC… ID all work — the Actor resolves handles automatically.
• Country and category filters apply to YouTube only (that's all Social Blade ranks by region); they're ignored for other platforms.
• Use Maximum results to cap cost on multi-country/category leaderboards.
• Schedule the Actor daily to accumulate history longer than Social Blade's 31-day public window.

FAQ

How does the Social Blade Scraper work? It reads the public Social Blade pages and their underlying data for each creator, then normalizes everything into one cross-platform schema. No login or API key is required.

Do I need a Social Blade account or API key? No. The Actor uses only publicly available data.

Which platforms are supported? YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, and Facebook.

Can I scrape top creator lists, not just individual profiles? Yes — switch to Discover top creators mode and pick platforms, countries, and categories.

How much history can I get? Social Blade exposes about 31 days of daily history to anonymous visitors, so history is capped at 31 days. Schedule the Actor to build longer histories over time.

How accurate are the earnings estimates? They're estimates computed the same way Social Blade does — recent view growth × a CPM range — and are provided for YouTube. Treat them as a directional range, not exact revenue.

Can I schedule automatic runs and use the API? Yes. Use Apify's scheduler, REST API, and integrations (Make, Zapier, Slack, Google Sheets, webhooks).

Is it legal to scrape Social Blade?

Web scraping of public data is legal in many jurisdictions, but you are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Social Blade's Terms of Service.

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our Actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.
