Social Blade Multi-Platform Analytics Scraper

Scrape public Social Blade creator profiles in bulk from Social Blade URLs or handles. The Actor returns normalized audience, content, engagement, growth, rankings, earnings estimates, and available daily, weekly, and monthly history across YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, and Facebook.

What this Actor does

Social Blade Scraper resolves public Social Blade profiles and collects the useful public data exposed for that platform. Each valid input produces a profile record with the resolved creator identifier, display information, audience totals, content totals, public grade or category signals, related social links, growth data, rankings, and available earnings estimates.

When historical data is available, the Dataset also contains daily, weekly, and monthly metric records. Every record identifies its recordType, platform, creator ID, username, date, and normalized metrics. The profile record includes primary audience, media count, verification and website signals, engagement metrics, simplified rank fields, normalized growth windows, dataQuality, endpoint availability, response timing, and upstream request counts so downstream systems can distinguish a complete result from a partial result.

The Actor works with public Social Blade pages only. It does not log in, access private accounts, retrieve private platform data, or promise fields that the upstream source does not expose for a particular profile.

Use cases

• Build creator and influencer datasets with current audience, content, growth, and ranking signals.
• Compare public creator performance across YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, and Facebook.
• Monitor audience and content history through daily, weekly, and monthly Dataset records.
• Enrich sponsorship, competitive research, talent discovery, and recurring reporting workflows.

How to use

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Enter Social Blade profile URLs or handles in profiles.
3. Keep the default history settings unless you need a smaller run.
4. Click Start and open the Dataset when the run finishes.

During a run, the Actor status shows user-facing progress milestones: input preparation, the profile currently being collected, aggregate successful/partial/failed counts, total output rows, and the final completion summary.

Full Social Blade URLs can be mixed with bare handles. A bare handle uses defaultPlatform, which defaults to YouTube. URLs are accepted only from Social Blade and are normalized to their canonical platform route. Duplicate profiles are reported without making a second upstream request.

The Console opens with one valid YouTube profile URL as a prefilled example. Replace it with the public Social Blade profiles you want to collect.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
profiles	string[]	Yes	—	One to 1,000 Social Blade profile URLs or handles. The Console prefill is https://socialblade.com/youtube/handle/mrbeast.
defaultPlatform	select	No	youtube	Platform used for bare handles: youtube, tiktok, twitch, instagram, or facebook.
includeDailyHistory	boolean	No	true	Emits available dailyStat rows, limited by historyDays.
historyDays	integer	No	31	Maximum number of daily rows per profile, from 1 to 31.
includeWeeklyHistory	boolean	No	true	Emits available weeklyStat rows from the public summary data.
includeMonthlyHistory	boolean	No	true	Emits available monthlyStat rows.
includeGrowthMetrics	boolean	No	true	Includes public growth metrics in the profile record.
includeEarningsEstimates	boolean	No	true	Requests public earnings estimates when exposed; earningsStatus reports whether one was available.
maxProfiles	integer	No	0	Maximum submitted profiles to attempt; 0 means all submitted inputs up to 1,000.

Example input:

{
  "profiles": ["https://socialblade.com/instagram/user/instagram"],
  "includeDailyHistory": false,
  "includeWeeklyHistory": false,
  "includeMonthlyHistory": false,
  "includeEarningsEstimates": false
}

Output

The default Dataset contains one profile record per unique valid input, plus optional dailyStat, weeklyStat, and monthlyStat records. Profile records contain normalized fields under profile, audience, content, growth, growthWindows, summary, monthly, rankings, and earnings. Headline fields such as primaryAudience, mediaCount, engagementRate, talkingAbout, globalRank, countryRank, and categoryRank are also available at the top level for filtering and table exports. Values that are not exposed for a profile are returned as null or omitted from the relevant upstream object.

growth preserves the public endpoint representation. growthWindows provides a stable metric-first structure such as growthWindows.followers.days30.delta and .pct; percentage values are expressed as percentage points. A one-day window is included when the available daily history contains the required dates.

The nested profile object includes website, verified, and socialBladeVerified when available. Instagram-specific engagementRate, averageLikes, and averageComments, and Facebook talkingAbout, are exposed when Social Blade returns them. earningsStatus is available, not_available, or not_requested; earnings are estimates and may be unavailable on public pages.

Profile records use status: "ok" when the public profile snapshot and all endpoints attempted for that platform respond, or status: "partial" when an attempted endpoint fails after the profile is valid. Invalid, duplicate, blocked, rate-limited, and failed inputs remain auditable as error records with a stable error code. responseTimeMs, httpRequests, and requestMetrics describe the collection cost and timing for each profile.

Instagram has a specific public-coverage boundary: the public source can provide the profile snapshot and maximum-rank data, while some statistics and history endpoints require login. The Actor does not attempt login or bypass anti-bot protections. It skips those deterministic unavailable calls and lists them under dataQuality.unavailableEndpoints; the corresponding fields remain null or empty. This keeps a usable public Instagram snapshot as status: "ok" and reserves partial for an endpoint that the Actor actually attempted and could not retrieve.

Normalized count fields are numeric when Social Blade returns a parseable value. Historical rows include a sanitized sourceData object preserving the original public representation used to build that row, including numeric strings.

Pricing

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. One billable unit is one successfully delivered profile snapshot (recordType: "profile", status: "ok"). Any requested daily, weekly, or monthly history rows are included in that snapshot and do not create additional charges. Apify resolves the applicable price from your subscription tier.

Apify tier	Price per profile snapshot	Equivalent per 1,000 profile snapshots
FREE	$0.00500	$5.00
BRONZE	$0.00450	$4.50
SILVER	$0.00400	$4.00
GOLD	$0.00375	$3.75
PLATINUM	$0.00375	$3.75
DIAMOND	$0.00375	$3.75

The 1,000-profile figures are comparison equivalents; billing remains per profile snapshot. Invalid, duplicate, failed, and partial profile records, skipped work, and historical rows by themselves are not charged.

Limits and data quality

The Actor accepts up to 1,000 submitted profiles per run and requests up to 31 daily rows per profile. The public source may return fewer rows; the current available window is reported by the Dataset rather than padded or inferred. Weekly and monthly coverage depends on the public history returned for that profile and platform. Instagram public access may expose current identity, audience, engagement, and maximum-rank data without exposing historical statistics; the unavailable endpoint names are reported rather than inferred.

The source can rate-limit or challenge requests. The Actor automatically uses one profile at a time, one retry for transient failures, and a 20-second timeout per upstream request. It stops on access blocks and continues other profiles when possible; rerun failed inputs when the source is temporarily unavailable.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Actor access private accounts?

No. It uses publicly accessible Social Blade data only and does not log in or access private platform information.

Why is a metric missing or null?

Social Blade does not expose every metric for every platform or profile. The profile's dataQuality object reports available, unavailable, missing, failed, and not-requested endpoints, while historical records are emitted only when the source returns usable dated data. earningsStatus distinguishes an unavailable estimate from one that was not requested. For Instagram, login-only statistics and history endpoints appear in unavailableEndpoints and are not treated as runtime failures.

What is the difference between growth and growthWindows?

growth preserves the public endpoint response for completeness. growthWindows is the easier-to-consume form: metrics contain windows such as days1, days7, days30, each with an absolute delta and a percentage pct when a valid baseline exists.

What happens when one profile fails?

The run continues for the remaining inputs when possible. The failed input is written as an auditable error record with its normalized URL, stable error code, timing, and HTTP status when available.

Can I request only current profile data?

Yes. Set includeDailyHistory, includeWeeklyHistory, and includeMonthlyHistory to false. Growth, ranking, summary, and other current profile fields remain controlled by their corresponding options.

Responsible use

Use only publicly accessible information and comply with Social Blade's terms, the terms of the underlying platforms, applicable privacy and data-protection rules, and other laws relevant to your use case. Do not use the Actor for spam, harassment, credential collection, unlawful profiling, or attempts to access private data.

Support

For unexpected results, open an issue in the Actor's Issues tab and include the run ID, a small reproducible public profile input, the returned status, and the relevant error code. Never include credentials or cookies.
