## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

# README

## YouTube Creator Email & Lead Scraper (Pay Per Email Found)

**Turn a list of YouTube channels — or a single niche keyword — into a clean contact list of publicly listed creator business emails and social profiles. You pay only when an email is actually found. No email, no charge.**

Feed the actor channel URLs, `@handles`, channel IDs, video URLs, or niche keywords. It reads each channel's **public** surfaces — About-page text, the classified link list, the creator's most recent **video descriptions**, and one hop to the creator's own linked website / Linktree — and returns the business email and social links it can find, one tidy record per channel.

- 📧 Publicly listed creator business emails, with provenance (`about` / `video` / `website` / `linktree`)
- 🔗 Social profiles: Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Discord, Telegram, website
- 📊 Channel stats: subscriber / view / video counts, country, join date, handle, ID
- 💰 **Pay-per-result** — priced per email found, not per subscription. A channel with no email costs you **nothing**.

---

### 🎯 Best for

Self-identify in two seconds — this actor is built for:

- **Sponsorship & brand-deal prospecting** — build a list of creators to pitch, with their contact email attached.
- **Influencer / creator outreach** — go from a shortlist of channels to reachable inboxes.
- **Agency lead generation** — turn a niche keyword into a queue of creator leads for a client.
- **Creator partnerships & collab sourcing** — find and contact channels in an adjacent niche.
- **UGC / media-buying creator sourcing** — surface creators and their public business contact.
- **Sales prospecting into the creator economy** — enrich a channel list with email + socials before you reach out.

---

### 🔒 What makes this scraper different (and safer)

Some YouTube email tools rely on **logged-in Google accounts** that click YouTube's gated *"View email address"* button and solve its CAPTCHA. That approach touches your Google login and runs the kind of authenticated automation that is grounds for account bans.

**This actor deliberately does the opposite.** It runs **signed out** and reads only **public** surfaces. There is no Google login, no CAPTCHA clicking, and nothing that puts a Google account at risk — that's simply how the engine is built.

#### What it deliberately does NOT do

- ❌ **Does not log into Google** and **does not click YouTube's "View email address" CAPTCHA button.** Emails a creator exposes *only* behind that gated button won't appear here. Emails they put in their bio/description, their About-page links, their recent video descriptions, or their own linked website **will**.
- ❌ **Does not read comments (including pinned comments).** Unlike the video *description*, a video's comments — pinned or not — are not present in the signed-out watch-page HTML; they lazy-load through rotating internal continuation tokens, exactly the fragile, ban-adjacent surface this actor avoids. An email that lives *only* in a pinned comment is out of scope.

#### Where the emails come from

Public surfaces, signed out:

1. the channel **About-page description** text,
2. the classified **link list** on the About page,
3. the creator's most recent **video descriptions** (optional) — where a "For business inquiries: …" email often lives even when the About page omits it, and
4. the creator's own **linked website / Linktree** (one hop, optional).

---

### ⚙️ How it works

**Engine:** Playwright (Chromium) driven by Crawlee's `PlaywrightCrawler`, on Apify's maintained `apify/actor-node-playwright-chrome` image.

Instead of chasing fragile CSS classes, the actor reads YouTube's own hydration blob, `window.ytInitialData`, and walks it **by key name** — key names change far less often than DOM structure, so extraction stays stable through cosmetic redesigns.

Built-in resilience:

- up to **3 retries** per request,
- a **regex fallback** that recovers `ytInitialData` from the inline page script if the JS global is unavailable,
- **best-effort consent-wall dismissal** for EU redirects,
- **honest error output** — a request that ultimately fails is written to the dataset as `{ "status": "error", "errorDetail": "...", "channelUrl": "..." }` rather than silently dropped, so you always see exactly what did not resolve.

---

### ▶️ How to use (no code required)

1. Create a free Apify account.
2. Open this actor and paste your channel URLs / `@handles` / channel IDs / video URLs into **Start URLs** — or type niche keywords into **Search keywords**.
3. (Optional) Set a **Minimum subscribers** floor and cap **Max channels per keyword** to control cost.
4. Click **Start**.
5. Watch rows appear in the **Output** tab, then export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML — or pull it via the API.

### 📥 Input

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array | — | Channel URLs, `@handles` (e.g. `https://www.youtube.com/@mkbhd`), 24-char `UC…` channel IDs, or video URLs. A video URL resolves to its **owning channel**. |
| `searchKeywords` | array of strings | `[]` | Optional. Each keyword runs a YouTube channel search and queues the discovered channels for email extraction. Billed per search query. |
| `maxChannelsPerKeyword` | integer | `50` | How many channels to collect from each keyword search. Min 1, max 500. |
| `minSubscribers` | integer | `0` | Skip channels below this subscriber count (cost control). 0 = no minimum. |
| `scanLinkedWebsites` | boolean | `true` | Follow the website / Linktree / Beacons link on the About page one hop and extract `mailto:` and plain-text emails. |
| `scanVideoDescriptions` | boolean | `true` | Also read the channel's most-recent video descriptions and extract emails from them (tagged `source: "video"`). Catches the "For business inquiries: …" email many creators put in every video but not on their About page. |
| `maxVideosPerChannel` | integer | `3` | How many recent videos to read descriptions from per channel when `scanVideoDescriptions` is on. Min 0 (off), max 10. |
| `includeSocialLinks` | boolean | `true` | Return the channel's linked social profiles (Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Discord, Telegram, website). |
| `dedupeEmails` | boolean | `true` | One record per channel, with emails deduped across all sources. |

}
```

Field notes:

- **`emails`** — every email found for the channel, each tagged with its `source` (`about`, `video`, `website`, or `linktree`) and `domain`. Only sources the actor actually read are emitted. When the same address appears in more than one source, it is kept once at its highest-trust source (About > video description > website hop).
- **`bestEmail`** — a single pick, preferring a **business domain** over a freemail address (Gmail, Outlook, etc.).
- **`hasEmail`** — `true` when at least one email was found. It's the *gate* for billing — no email, no charge — but the `email-found` event is priced **per unique email**, so a channel with two emails is two events (see the worked example under Pricing).
- **`sourceMode`** — `"direct"` (you supplied the channel/video) or `"keyword"` (discovered via a keyword search). `sourceVideoUrl` is set when the channel was reached from a video; `sourceKeyword` is set when reached from a keyword.
- **`status`** — `"ok"` for a successful record, `"error"` for a request that failed (with a human-readable `errorDetail`). Error rows are kept, not dropped.

***

### 💰 Pricing (pay-per-event)

You are charged a **fixed price per result event** — not for platform usage or compute time.

| Event | Price | Per 1,000 | When you're charged |
|---|---|---|---|
| `email-found` | **$0.02** | **$20 / 1,000** | Once per **unique email found**. A channel with **no email is free**. |
| `keyword-search` | **$0.01** | **$10 / 1,000** | Once per **keyword search query** executed. |

**No-find-free is the core trust mechanic:** you never pay for a channel that yields nothing. If a page fails, it comes back as a `status: "error"` row — never as a phantom charge for data that does not exist.

**What a run costs — a worked example:** you scan **500 channels**, **180** have a business email (and **40** of those list two) → **220 unique emails × $0.02 = $4.40**. Add **2 keyword searches** at $0.01 → **$0.02**. Total: **$4.42** — and the 320 channels with no email cost nothing.

> The prices above are exactly what you're billed — nothing for platform usage or compute on top. Comparable Store actors price differently; compare the live listings and pick what fits your volume.

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I pay for channels that don't have an email?**
No. You are charged only when an email is actually found (`hasEmail: true`). A channel that yields nothing — or a request that errors — costs you nothing for the email event.

**Can I test with a small list first?**
Yes. Start with two or three channel URLs, confirm the output looks right, then scale up. The `maxChannelsPerKeyword` and `minSubscribers` inputs let you cap volume and cost on keyword runs.

**How do I maximize the hit rate?**
Point it at channels that are **likely to list a public business email** — established creators, brand-adjacent channels, and channels with a linked website or Linktree. Keep `scanLinkedWebsites` and `scanVideoDescriptions` on so the actor follows the one-hop website link and reads recent video descriptions (many creators put a "For business inquiries: …" email in every video but not on their About page), and use `minSubscribers` to skip tiny channels that rarely publish contact info.

**Why don't you pull the email from behind YouTube's "View email address" button?**
Because that gated flow requires a logged-in Google account and CAPTCHA solving — authenticated automation that is grounds for account bans. This actor stays signed out and reads only public surfaces on purpose. It is the account-safe, ToS-cleaner choice; the tradeoff is that emails exposed *only* behind that button are out of reach.

**What exactly does it read?**
Four public surfaces: the About-page description text, the classified links on the About page, the channel's most-recent video descriptions, and — one hop — the creator's own linked website or Linktree. Nothing behind a login, and no comments (pinned or otherwise).

**Do you read pinned comments?**
No. A creator's pinned comment can carry contact info, but comments are not in the signed-out watch-page HTML — they load through rotating internal continuation tokens, the fragile surface this actor deliberately avoids. The video *description* is in the page HTML and **is** read; a pinned comment is not.

**Can I run it on a schedule or from my own code?**
Yes. Apify lets you run this actor from the Console UI, schedule it, call it via the Apify API, drive it with the `apify-client` SDKs for JavaScript and Python, run it from the Apify CLI, or connect it through an MCP server — and wire the output into Make, Zapier, Slack, Google Sheets, or a webhook.

**Is it legal to scrape this?**
The actor reads only publicly available data, signed out. That said, some output fields are personal data (e.g. an email address). You should have a legitimate basis for collecting and using it and should comply with applicable law (GDPR/CCPA, YouTube's terms, and anti-spam rules like CAN-SPAM). If you are unsure whether your use is legitimate, consult your own legal counsel.

**What happens when a page can't be parsed?**
The request is retried up to 3 times, then written to the dataset as a `{ "status": "error", "errorDetail": "…" }` row. You get an honest record of what failed instead of a silently missing channel.

### 🔌 API-ready

This actor is a drop-in piece of a pipeline. Apify auto-generates integration snippets for it — JavaScript (`apify-client`), Python (`apify-client`), the Apify CLI, the REST API, an OpenAPI spec, and an MCP server — so you can call it from your own stack or an agent workflow. See the **API** tab on the actor page.
