YouTube Channel Scraper

Scrape any YouTube channel and get complete data including subscribers, engagement stats, contact info, and social links. Works on any channel URL format and returns clean JSON in seconds.

You are only charged for channels that come back with real data. Failed requests and empty results are free.

What does YouTube Channel Scraper do?

YouTube Channel Scraper processes each channel through a 3-stage extraction pipeline using a real browser session and turns it into a clean, structured dataset ready to use.

It can extract:

• Channel name, handle, channel URL, channel ID, and verification status
• Subscriber count, total videos, and all-time total views
• Engagement rate, average views per video, estimated monthly views, and upload frequency
• Country, join date, and full channel description
• Recent video activity and last upload date
• Contact info: email, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn (optional)

Why Scrape YouTube Channels?

A channel's profile is where reach, consistency, and audience loyalty all live in one place. Subscribers, upload frequency, and engagement rate together tell you whether a channel is actively growing or coasting on old momentum.

Here are some ways you could use this data:

• Build lead lists for influencer marketing or brand outreach
• Find channels in specific niches for sponsorship targeting
• Track competitor channels and monitor their growth over time
• Enrich creator databases with verified contact info and social links
• Feed channel data into CRMs, spreadsheets, or automation tools like Make, n8n, or Zapier
• Score and rank channels by engagement rate before reaching out

How to Use

Scraping a YouTube channel takes about 12 seconds per channel. No setup needed beyond the channel URL.
