🚀 Performance Tips

Get the best results from your YouTuber searches with these tips:

💰 Cost Optimization

• Start Small: Test with max_results: 10 before running larger searches
• Monitor Usage: Check the Apify Console usage tab for real-time cost tracking
• Target Better Keywords: Narrower queries reduce irrelevant channels and wasted runs

⚡ Speed Optimization

• Start Smaller: Smaller runs finish much faster and are easier to review
• Specific Keywords: Targeted search terms return more relevant channels with less processing
• Reasonable Sizes: Keep searches under 500 channels for stable performance

🛡️ Data Quality Tips

• Focused Keywords: More specific search terms produce more relevant creator matches
• Email Availability: Not all creators list contact emails — this is normal
• Social Links: Link availability depends on what each creator has added to their channel

📊 Best Practices

• Test First: Start with a small search to see what data is returned for your keyword
• Save Results: Download your data right after the run finishes for safekeeping
• Use Filters: Combine results with keyword filters to narrow down the best matches

❓ FAQ

How are results found?

Results are discovered by searching YouTube for the given keyword and keeping unique matched videos from the search results. The same channel can appear more than once when different videos match.

Is this free?

No. Each matched video result costs $0.0085, and there is no separate charge for the related channel profile details.

Can I get emails for every channel?

No — emails are found only if the creator has listed them in their channel description. Many creators do not publish contact info publicly.

What's the difference between subscriber_count and channel_view_count?

subscriber_count is the number of subscribers. channel_view_count is the cumulative total views across all the channel's videos.

How long does it take?

• 10 results: usually under 1 minute
• 100 results: typically 5–15 minutes
• Large runs take longer because more matched videos must be processed

Do large runs significantly increase cost?

Yes. Cost scales with the number of matched video results returned. More results mean higher total cost because each result costs $0.0085.

What output formats are available?

Results come in JSON format by default. You can also download as CSV or Excel using Apify's built-in export features.
