YouTube Channel Stats Scraper - Subscribers, Views & Growth

Scrape the stats of any YouTube channel by URL, @handle or channel id, without an API key and without quota limits. The Actor returns one row per channel: subscribers, total views, video count, joined date, country, description, external links, keywords, avatar, banner and verification badge. Schedule it and every row carries the growth of subscribers, videos and views since the previous run: creator analytics, influencer discovery and vetting, competitor tracking, sponsorship research and channel portfolios.

You pay $0.002 per channel.

What you get

One Dataset row per channel:

• channelId, handle, url, title, description, keywords.
• subscribers (with subscribersText as YouTube shows it), videos, totalViews.
• joinedAt, country, links (title and URL of the channel links), availableCountries.
• avatar, banner, isVerified, isFamilySafe.
• subscribersChange, videosChange, totalViewsChange: growth since the previous run (null on the first run).

Channels that do not exist or are terminated return a row with an error field and are not charged.

FAQ

Do I need a YouTube API key? No, and there is no daily quota.

Are subscriber counts exact? YouTube publishes them rounded (521M, 4.55M); subscribersText keeps the original text. Total views and video counts are exact where YouTube shows them.

Does it return the channel's email? Only the links the channel lists publicly; the business email behind the "View email address" button requires a Google account.

Where is the data stored between runs? In a Key-Value Store of your account named micro-saas-state-youtube-channel-stats, one key per channel.
