Youtube Instant Email Scraper

Extract publicly available contact emails from any YouTube channel's About page — instantly. Provide a channel ID or @handle and get a verified email address in seconds.

What It Does

This actor scrapes the business contact email that YouTube creators list publicly on their channel's About page. It is ideal for influencer outreach, partnership discovery, and building lead lists from YouTube.

• Accepts a channel ID or @handle as input
• Returns the email address if one is publicly listed
• Fast, cached responses — repeated lookups are served instantly
• Returns a structured JSON response with found flag so you can easily filter results

Input

You must provide at least one of the following fields:

Field	Type	Required	Description	Example
id	string	one of these	YouTube channel ID	UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw
channelHandle	string	one of these	Channel handle with @ prefix	@mrbeast

How to Find a Channel ID

• Go to the channel page on YouTube
• The channel ID appears in the URL: youtube.com/channel/UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw
• Alternatively, use the @handle directly (e.g. @mrbeast)

Example Input

{
  "channelHandle": "@mrbeast"
}

Or using channel ID:

{
  "id": "UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw"
}

Output

The actor returns a single JSON object:

Field	Type	Description
status	string	"success" or "error"
email	string	Email address found, or empty string if none
found	boolean	true if an email was discovered
cached	boolean	true if result was served from cache
source	string	"upstream" or "cache"

Example Output — Email Found

{
  "status": "success",
  "email": "contact@mrbeastbusiness.com",
  "found": true,
  "cached": false,
  "source": "upstream"
}

Example Output — No Email Listed

{
  "status": "success",
  "email": "",
  "found": false,
  "cached": false,
  "source": "upstream"
}

Example Output — Error

{
  "status": "error",
  "error": "Upstream request timed out after 30.0s."
}
