Why Use This YouTube Email & Lead Scraper?

Most legacy YouTube email scrapers on the Apify Store fail on 75%+ of channels because they only regex the channel's About bio text (where YouTube hides the inquiry email behind a logged-in CAPTCHA).

This Actor runs a 4-Stage Deep Contact Cascade without requiring YouTube session cookies:

1. Stage 1 — Channel Bio & Redirect Unwrapper: Parses the channel's /about metadata, subscriber count, total views, country, and unwraps YouTube's obfuscated /redirect?q=... links.
2. Stage 2 — Recent Video Descriptions Deep Scan: Inspects the channel's recent video descriptions (scanRecentVideos), where 60%+ of creators and B2B channels list their sponsor/inquiry email (business@..., partnerships@..., collab@...) and social links directly.
3. Stage 3 — Link-in-Bio Unroller (Linktree, Beacons, Solo.to, Stan.store, Carrd): Automatically follows any Link-in-Bio aggregator page linked by the creator to extract mailto: addresses, business emails, and hidden social profiles.
4. Stage 4 — External Website /contact & /about Crawler: Visits the creator's linked website homepage, /contact, and /about pages—including automatic Cloudflare data-cfemail hex decoding and [at] / (at) de-obfuscation—to recover verified emails.
