YouTube Channel Scraper

Get the details of YouTube channels by URL, @handle, channel ID or keyword search: subscribers, exact total views, video count, country, joined date, social links, and emails found in the channel description, plus the avatar, banner and verified badge. Use it to find influencers, qualify creator leads, track competitors or enrich a CRM.

You pay per channel. Proxies are included.

Features

• Find channels by keyword: fitness coach, crypto news, vegan recipes, the same as the YouTube search with the Channels filter.
• Exact numbers: total views and video count are exact, from the channel's About panel.
• Contacts: emails found in the description, social and website links, and a flag when the channel has a business email behind the "View email address" button.
• Profile: country, joined date, verified badge, avatar, banner and keywords.
• Flexible input: channel URLs, @handles, UC… IDs, or any video URL (its channel is used).

Notes

• YouTube rounds subscriber counts (for example 21.4M), and subscriberCount is rounded the same way. Total views and video count are exact.
• emails contains only addresses written publicly in the description. The business email behind YouTube's captcha is not scraped; hasBusinessEmail tells you that one exists.

Pricing

You pay a fixed price per channel. Proxies are included. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options, and the Actor stops when it is reached.
