Actor Input Parameters

The actor accepts the following input parameters:

id • Type: string • Required: Optional* • Description: YouTube channel ID e.g., UCMmaBzfCCwZ2KqaBJjkj0fw

channelHandle • Type: string • Required: Optional* • Description: YouTube channel handle e.g., @ted

Important Notes:

• At least one parameter is required - You must provide either id or channelHandle
• Channel handles must start with @ - If using channelHandle, it must begin with the @ symbol (e.g., @mkbhd, not mkbhd)
• ID takes precedence - If both id and channelHandle are provided, only the id parameter will be used

---

Input Examples

Example 1: Using Channel ID Only

{
  "id": "UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA"
}

When to use: When you have the YouTube channel ID (found in channel URLs or YouTube API responses).

Example 2: Using Channel Handle Only

{
  "channelHandle": "@mkbhd"
}

When to use: When you know the channel's handle (the @username format used in YouTube URLs).

Example 3: Both Parameters Present (ID Takes Precedence)

{
  "id": "UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA",
  "channelHandle": "@MrBeast"
}

Result: The actor will use the id parameter and ignore channelHandle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How accurate is the contact information? A: We extract publicly available information from multiple sources. While we strive for accuracy, contact information may change over time. Always verify before use.

Q: Can I run this actor commercially? A: Yes, you can use this actor for commercial purposes. All data is publicly available.
