Simple Input-Output Example

Input (specify either id or channelHandle):

{
  "channelHandle": "@mrbeast"
}

Output:

{
  "status": "success",
  "email": "contact@mrbeastbusiness.com",
  "found": true
}

Important Notes:

• Actor takes about 15s to run
• Only one email can be inputted at a time
• Actor passes through most reCAPTCHAs, but not all
• Returns success even if no email is found
• Only returns error if the API service breaks
• If either no email is found or the captcha isn't passed, but the parsing is successful, you will still be charged
• The API bandwidth is not very high atm, so you sometimes might hit an internal rate limit. If that happens, you will not be charged
• If enough interest follows, we'll extend the API to accommodate higher rate limits
• Contact address for any issue / enquiry: contact@endspec.net

If you need more information on your leads (such as websites, socials, link.me platforms, etc.), you can use the Youtube Emails, Socials and Urls Extractor: https://apify.com/endspec/youtube-channel-contacts-extractor
