YouTube Email Finder — Creator & Channel Business Emails

Reach any YouTuber where it counts: their business inbox. Give it a channel handle or URL and get the business email behind the channel — the one in the About page and the verified addresses on the creator's own website — MX-checked and confidence-scored, in clean typed JSON.

Built for brand-deal outreach, influencer marketing, sponsorship sales, and AI agents that need creator contacts on demand.

What you get, per channel

• About-page business email — the address creators put in their channel description (found_on: "youtube-about"), highest intent.
• Website emails — if the channel links a website, it's crawled (/, /about, /contact, /team, ...) for additional real addresses using the same engine as our Contact Email Finder.
• MX validation + 1–5 confidence on every email, so you can filter to deliverable contacts.
• Social links the creator published, and the channel's name, URL, and subscriber count.

Quick start

Just press Start (defaults to a couple of demo channels), or:

{ "channels": ["@MrBeast", "https://youtube.com/@mkbhd"] }

Add role-pattern fallbacks and cap results:

{ "channels": ["@mkbhd"], "include_patterns": true, "max_emails_per_domain": 5 }

Why this one

• Two sources, one call — the About-page email and website-crawled emails, not just a regex over the page.
• Verified, not guessed — every address is MX-checked and scored; you see why each is ranked.
• Priced to use in bulk — a fraction of the per-result cost of the incumbent YouTube-email actors.
• Cookie-free & resilient — no login, no API key; direct first, proxy only if a website blocks the crawl (billed to you only on fallback).
• Agent-ready — typed rows with a rowType discriminator and a machine-readable SUMMARY in the key-value store.

Output (by rowType)

• channel: handle, channelName, channelUrl, subscribers, website, websiteDomain, bestEmail, emailCount, emails[] (address, source, found_on, mx_valid, confidence, format), socialLinks[].
• notice: a guidance row (e.g. no channels supplied) — a run always returns something useful instead of failing.

Integrations

REST API (synchronous):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apricot_blackberry~youtube-email-finder/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"channels":["@mkbhd"]}'

JavaScript / Python: use apify-client — client.actor("apricot_blackberry/youtube-email-finder").call({ channels: ["@mkbhd"] }). AI agents (MCP): exposed via the Apify MCP server — point any MCP client at https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=apricot_blackberry/youtube-email-finder. No-code: use the official Apify app in n8n, Make, and Zapier and pick youtube-email-finder; wire a webhook on run completion.

🔗 Works with

• Don't know which channels to chase yet? Data Source Finder finds the creator directories and niche lists to pull handles from.
• Before you send: run the emails through Scrape Trust Score to flag dead domains and disposable addresses — so you only pitch real inboxes.

Honest limits

• Not every channel publishes a business email or a website — those channels return a row with emailCount: 0 (and you are not charged for them; you only pay when an email is returned).
• Emails come from what the creator has made public (About page + their linked site). This does not defeat logins, captchas, or contact forms.
• Inline About-page emails are lightly cleaned for trailing-text artifacts; always verify before sending.
