Collect public YouTube channel metadata and statistics without a YouTube API key, login, or browser. The Actor downloads each public channel About page with an honest collector user agent and parses the ytInitialData already embedded in that HTML.
What it collects
- Canonical UC channel ID, public name, @handle, and URL
- Displayed subscriber, video, and view counts, with exact values only when YouTube publishes exact digits and approximations for abbreviated labels
- Public description, joined date, country, verification flag, avatar, banner, keywords, and external links
- Original input, final source URL, HTTP/attempt details, result position, and explicit transport/truth fields
Optional fields are omitted when YouTube does not publish them. The Actor never turns 1.2M into an “exact” count and never fabricates a missing statistic.
Input
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
channelUrls | string[] | — | 1–100 @handles, UC IDs, or canonical /@, /channel, /user, or /c URLs. |
maxItems | integer | input length | Maximum unique normalized inputs to process (1–100). |
proxyConfiguration | object | direct | Optional Apify Proxy configuration. |
Aliases that resolve to the same UC channel ID are emitted once. Up to three public pages are fetched concurrently, each with at most three attempts for transient or access-denial responses.
Output
The default dataset contains real youtube_channel_statistics rows. OUTPUT in the default key-value store records overall SUCCESS, PARTIAL, NO_RESULTS, or FAILED status, supplied/unique/saved counts, duplicate resolution, per-input outcomes, and whether a proxy was configured.
Local development
Use Node.js 22:
Place input at storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json. The validator accepts a dataset directory/file or JSON/JSONL through standard input.
YouTube may change its public HTML or apply regional/rate-limit controls. When access fails, the Actor reports the affected input instead of falling back to private endpoints, browser fingerprint manipulation, or fabricated data.
