Extract complete public channel profiles cookielessly: header and About metadata (name, handle, description, subscriber/video counts, total views, country, join date, avatar, verification, links) plus opt-in playlist and Community Posts snapshots. Every optional surface is truthful — unavailable routes are recorded in combinedSurfaceStatus instead of being fabricated.
What this actor does
- Full profile: name, handle, description, subscriber/video/view counts, country, join date, avatar, banner, and verification
- External links: the channel's website and social links
- Optional snapshots: playlists and community posts per channel
- Truthful surface status: unavailable routes are recorded instead of fabricated
- Empty fields are omitted — records only contain values that are actually populated.
Output
Each row is a recordType: "channel_profile" record with channelId, channelName, handle, channelUrl, description, subscriberCount(Text), videoCount(Text), totalViews(Text), country, joinedDateText, avatarUrl, isVerified, links[], and optional playlists[] / communityPosts[] / combinedSurfaceStatus objects.

FAQ
Which channel identifiers are supported?
Handles (@name), full channel URLs, and raw UC… channel IDs.
Why are some fields missing for a channel?
The channel may not publish that surface (for example, a hidden subscriber count); the actor omits unverifiable values instead of guessing.
What is combinedSurfaceStatus?
A per-surface status that tells you which optional routes (playlists, posts, comments) were available for that channel.
Do I need cookies?
No. The actor reads public channel pages without authentication.
