YouTube Channel · Subscribers, Views & Videos

Paste public YouTube channel URLs or @handles. Get lifetime views, subscribers, and video count — one row per channel, ready to schedule every day.

No login. No API key. Public About data only. This is not a video catalog.

Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Creator / media brand	See if total views and subs move week to week	One @handle, Schedule daily
Agency	Report growth for several clients	List of channel URLs, Schedule weekly
Competitor research	Snapshot rival channels without Studio access	2–10 handles, same schedule
Ops / data	Append history into Sheets or a warehouse	Named dataset or webhook after each run

What you get by default — viewCount, subscriberCount, videoCount, scrapedAt, plus channel URL, id, handle, and title so each row is identifiable.

What this Actor does not do — it does not list videos or per-video views. For a full upload export, use YouTube Channel · Uploads & Metadata.

Ready-made examples (published tasks)

Example	Best for
Daily views for one YouTube channel	One creator — schedule daily
Competitor YouTube subscriber snapshot	Side-by-side rival channels
Several YouTube handles in one run	Small watchlist
Agency weekly YouTube channel vitals	Recurring client reporting

Quick start

1. Open the Actor and paste a channel URL (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/@Logementatypique) or @handle
2. Click Start — one dataset row appears with views, subscribers, videos
3. Open Schedules, run daily, keep the same task so history accumulates in exports / integrations

Each Apify run has its own default dataset. For a growth curve, send results to Google Sheets, a named dataset, or a webhook after each run.

How much does it cost to scrape YouTube channel stats?

HTTP-only (no browser). Typical run: one channel in a few seconds.

Scenario	Approx. cost
1 channel (daily check)	well under $0.01
20 channels (Free plan max)	a few cents
200 channels (paid)	compute stays low; billed per snapshot row

Exact PPE is on the Actor Pricing tab (Actor start + one event per dataset row).

Is it legal to scrape YouTube channel stats?

This Actor only reads public About-panel figures (views, subscribers, video count) that anyone can open in a browser without signing in. It does not access YouTube Studio or private analytics. You are responsible for complying with YouTube’s terms and applicable law (including GDPR if you store personal data).

How to use (schedule)

1. Save a Task with your channel list
2. Create a Schedule (daily 07:00 is a common pattern)
3. Export or pipe each run’s dataset into Sheets / BigQuery / your CRM

Local development

npm install
apify run
