⚡ Why Use This Actor?

Most YouTube scrapers just pull channel names and view counts. This actor is built specifically for Brand Marketers, Talent Agencies, and Growth Hackers who need actionable outreach leads:

• 📧 Direct Business Contacts: Extracts publicly listed business emails, social links, and talent agency representation from channel bios.
• 🤝 Sponsor Detection: Automatically flags creators who actively run paid brand sponsorships.
• 📊 Real Performance Metrics: Calculates available Engagement Rate, Views-to-Subscriber Ratio, and Upload Frequency (not just vanity sub counts).
• 🏆 Sponsorship Opportunity Score (0-100): Ranks every channel with an objective Grade (A to F) so you only pitch high-ROI partners.

🛡️ Reliability & Zero-Waste Guarantee

• No Email Guessing: Only extracts explicitly published public contact information.
• Deduplicated Results: You never pay for or scrape the same channel twice in a single run.
• Smart Quota Guard: Gracefully handles YouTube API limits without failing your entire task.
• Forgiving input: Invalid channel references, region codes or out-of-range numbers are corrected or skipped with a warning in the log instead of failing the run.
• Timeout-safe: Collection stops about 60 seconds before the run timeout, so creators found so far are still delivered.
• Clear status: If nothing is delivered, the run status message names the cause (for example a changed or blocked YouTube page).

💡 Pro Tip for Maximum ROI:

Target micro-influencers between 20k and 100k subscribers. They have 3x higher engagement rates, answer their own business emails, and charge 70% less for sponsorships than mega-creators.

Free-plan sample and billing

Apify Free plans can collect up to 10 billable results per run. An Apify paid plan enables larger batches within your configured limits and run spending limit. The Actor checks the available budget before collecting.

Billing: $0.01 startup plus $0.005 per creator profile delivered. Public contacts are not mailbox-verified; sponsorship signals do not establish availability or campaign performance. Without YOUTUBE_API_KEY, public-page mode has limited fields: it reads channel About pages only, so engagement rate, upload frequency and video-based sponsor detection are not available (sponsor signals come from the channel description only).

The Pricing tab is authoritative. Source access and layouts can change. Inspect the output and source evidence before using it in a business workflow.

FAQ

How do I find YouTube influencers for sponsorships? Enter niche keywords or channel URLs. The Actor returns creator profiles with public channel metrics, sponsorship signals and publicly listed business contacts, ready to export to CSV or Excel.

Are creator emails verified? No. Contacts are read from public channel pages and are not checked for deliverability.

How much does it cost? $5 per 1,000 creator profiles plus $0.01 per run. The Pricing tab is authoritative.

Is it legal? It reads publicly available pages only, with no login. You are responsible for respecting each site's terms and the privacy rules that apply to your use of the data.

Can I run it through the API or on a schedule? Yes. Save your input as a task, schedule it in Apify Console, or call it from the Apify API. Results export as JSON, CSV or Excel and connect to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier or a webhook.
