📊 Reliability & Speed

• 100% extraction rate — if a YouTube channel has a business email listed, we extract it. Every time.
• 99.9% uptime SLA — the DataOverCoffee backend runs 24/7 on dedicated infrastructure with automated failover.
• 50,000+ channels processed daily — built for agencies and platforms running continuous outreach pipelines.

Delivery speed (based on last 30 days of production data)

Milestone	Channels delivered
Under 10 minutes	80%+
Under 30 minutes	93%
Under 1 hour	97%

Most runs complete in a single 45-minute polling window. For high-volume submissions (30,000+ channels/day), full delivery is within 48 hours — just Resurrect your run to pick up the remaining results.

⚙️ How It Works

YouTube hides creator business emails behind a "View email address" button that requires a logged-in Google account and a CAPTCHA solve. This actor is backed by the DataOverCoffee extraction engine — a managed fleet of authenticated Google accounts that visits each channel, clicks the button, solves the CAPTCHA, and extracts the email automatically. The infrastructure handles 100% of channels that have a business email listed — if the email exists on YouTube, we extract it. The actor polls the backend for up to 45 minutes, delivering results to your dataset as they become available.

Step 1 — Submit your channels

Run the actor with your list of YouTube channel URLs, handles (e.g. @ChannelName), or channel IDs. The actor will submit your channels to our backend and begin polling for results.

Step 2 — Wait for results

The actor polls our backend for up to 45 minutes, pushing results to your dataset as they become available. Based on production data, 80% of results arrive within 10 minutes and 93% within 30 minutes — most batches complete in a single run. For high-volume pipelines (30,000+ channels/day), all results are delivered within 48 hours.

Check the Run Log tab (next to the Output tab) to see real-time progress and status updates.

Step 3 — Collect remaining results (if needed)

For high-volume pipelines (30,000+ channels/day), the backend may still be processing channels after the 45-minute polling window. All results are delivered within 48 hours. Track progress at dataovercoffee.com or via the status API. Once processing is complete:

• Resurrect the run (recommended) — click Resurrect on the completed run's page in Apify. This picks up where the previous run left off and only fetches results that haven't been delivered yet — no duplicate charges. Important: Use Resurrect, not "Re-run from start," which would resubmit all channels.
• New run with remaining channels — for programmatic workflows, start a fresh run with only the channels not yet in your dataset.

The Run Log tab shows exactly how many channels were delivered, how many are pending, and what to do next.

📝 Inputs

Submit up to 1,000 channels per run and run as many concurrent runs as you need — agencies routinely process tens of thousands of channels per day through parallel runs. The actor accepts channel URLs, handles, and channel IDs — channel IDs are the recommended input because they're the most reliable and avoid issues with URL redirects or handle changes.

Input: YouTube channel IDs, channel handles (@name), or full channel URLs Output: Business email, channel name, channel ID, and extraction status per channel

Accepted formats:

• Channel IDs (recommended) — e.g. UCBcRF18a7Qf58cCRy5xuWwQ, UCXU7XVK_2Wd6tAHYO8g9vAA, UCq-Fj5jknLsUf-MWSy4_brA
• Channel URLs — e.g. https://youtube.com/@MrBeast, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBcRF18a7Qf58cCRy5xuWwQ
• Channel handles — e.g. @MrBeast, @mkbhd, @veritasium

Tip: You can find a channel's ID by going to their YouTube page, clicking "More" > "Share channel" > "Copy channel ID". Or use a free online tool to convert channel URLs to IDs in bulk.

Force Fresh Email Scrape — Enable this option to guarantee that every channel's email is scraped fresh from YouTube for this run, ignoring any result that may already be in the DataOverCoffee database. Costs $0.40 per result instead of $0.12. Use this when you need the most up-to-date emails.

Important: Make sure the "Maximum cost per run" setting is high enough to cover your expected results, or leave it empty for unlimited. You are only charged for channels where an email is actually found ($0.12 per email, or $0.40 with Force Fresh Email Scrape enabled). If the budget is too low, the actor will process only as many channels as the budget allows and skip the rest.

📤 Outputs

Your dataset will show one row per channel as results come in:

🏢 Built for Agencies & High-Volume Teams

Running influencer outreach at scale? This actor is designed for teams processing thousands of channels daily.

• Parallel runs — submit up to 1,000 channels per run and launch as many concurrent runs as you need. Agencies routinely process 30,000–50,000+ channels per day this way.
• Scheduling — set up recurring Apify schedules to automatically extract emails on a daily or weekly cadence. Feed channel lists from your CRM, spreadsheet, or upstream scraper.
• API integration — trigger runs programmatically via the Apify API and pull results directly into your pipeline. Monitor progress via our status API.
• Resurrect workflow — for very large batches, just Resurrect completed runs to collect remaining results. No re-processing, no double charges.

📡 Track Your Run Status

Don't want to guess when your results are ready? You can track the progress of any run in real time at dataovercoffee.com. Just enter your Apify Run ID and you'll see the current status of your extraction.

For automated workflows: If you're integrating this actor into a pipeline or doing programmatic processing, you can query the run status via our API:

GET https://api.dataovercoffee.com/youtube/run-status?run_id=<YOUR_RUN_ID>

Note: The status API and dataovercoffee.com are for monitoring only — they don't deliver email data. To actually collect your results, you need to resurrect the run on Apify (or start a new run with the pending channels).

❓ FAQ

Do I pay for channels that don't have a business email?

No. If a channel doesn't have a business email, we skip it and you won't be charged.

Actor not returning results for all inputs?

Check the Run Log tab first. The actor runs for up to 45 minutes and delivers as many results as it can — 80% of results arrive within 10 minutes, 93% within 30 minutes. For high-volume pipelines (30,000+ channels/day), all results are delivered within 48 hours.

The Run Log tells you exactly how many channels were delivered, how many are still pending, and what to do next. If channels are still processing, resurrect the same run (recommended — handles deduplication automatically) or start a new run with only the missing channels. Also check that all your input URLs, handles, or channel IDs are valid — invalid entries are skipped.

Can I test with a small list before doing bulk extraction?

Absolutely. Try 5–10 channels to see how this YouTube email finder works before scaling up to bulk YouTube email extraction.

How can I optimize runs and maximize my hit rate?

Submit only channels that are likely to have a business email listed (e.g. channels that actively do sponsorships or brand deals).

What is Force Fresh Email Scrape?

An optional setting that forces a brand-new scrape directly from YouTube for every channel in your run, even if we already have a result on file. Useful if you're re-running the same channels and want to check whether a creator has updated their email since your last run.

Still having issues?

Open an issue on this actor's Apify page with your Run ID, or reach out at dataovercoffee [at] proton.me and we'll look into it.

How Does This Compare to Other YouTube Email Scrapers?

YouTube Creator Business Email Scraper vs PhantomBuster

PhantomBuster's YouTube scraper extracts publicly visible channel metadata but cannot access business inquiry emails. PhantomBuster does not use logged-in Google accounts, so the "View email address" button — where creators publish their real contact email — is inaccessible. DataOverCoffee extracts the actual business email using authenticated Google accounts and automated CAPTCHA solving.

YouTube Creator Business Email Scraper vs Browse AI

Browse AI's YouTube extractor scrapes page-level data without authentication. Like other unauthenticated YouTube email scrapers, Browse AI cannot reach creator business emails that YouTube gates behind login and CAPTCHA. DataOverCoffee's managed fleet of Google accounts bypasses this limitation entirely.

YouTube Creator Business Email Scraper vs Bright Data

Bright Data's YouTube collector provides proxy infrastructure and public data scraping but does not offer authenticated access to YouTube's business email layer. Even with Bright Data's proxy network, the "View email address" button requires a logged-in Google session and CAPTCHA solve — which DataOverCoffee handles automatically at scale.

YouTube Creator Business Email Scraper vs Thunderbit

Thunderbit's YouTube scraper extracts visible page content without Google account authentication. Business inquiry emails on YouTube are not visible page content — they require clicking an authenticated button and solving a CAPTCHA. DataOverCoffee is the only YouTube creator email extraction tool that handles this end-to-end.

Why DataOverCoffee is the only YouTube business email scraper that works

Every other YouTube email extraction tool — whether it's PhantomBuster, Browse AI, Thunderbit, Bright Data, or other Apify actors — scrapes what's publicly visible on a channel page. But YouTube does not display business emails publicly. The email is behind an authenticated button + CAPTCHA wall. DataOverCoffee is the only tool with:

• Authenticated extraction — a managed fleet of Google accounts that can click "View email address"
• Automated CAPTCHA solving — no manual intervention, works at any volume
• 100% extraction rate — if the email exists on YouTube, we get it
• Pay-per-result pricing — no subscriptions, no per-seat fees, no charge when no email is found
