Social Blade Creator Analytics Scraper

Extract creator statistics from Social Blade for YouTube, TikTok, Twitch and Instagram — audience size, ranks, and 15 days of daily history. No account, login, or API key needed.

Why use this actor

• Four platforms, one output shape — YouTube, TikTok, Twitch and Instagram creators through the same input
• Daily history, not just a snapshot — up to 15 days of subscriber/follower, view, like and video counts per creator, so you can chart growth without waiting to accumulate it yourself
• Every Social Blade rank — overall rank plus per-metric ranks (subscribers, views, country, category on YouTube; followers, likes, videos on TikTok; engagement rate on Instagram)
• Creator context — account creation date, country, content category, channel description, and the creator's links to their other platforms
• YouTube leaderboard in one call — the top creators with subscribers, views and country
• Exact-address handling — a Social Blade address is fetched exactly as given, because /user/x, /c/x and /@x are different YouTube channels; guessing between them silently returns the wrong creator
• Stable JSON output with automatic retries — no scrapers or browsers to babysit

How it works

Pick a mode:

1. profile — statistics, ranks and daily history for one or more handles on the platform you choose (or full Social Blade addresses, which carry their own platform).
2. top — the YouTube top-creator leaderboard.

Input

One creator:

{
  "mode": "profile",
  "platform": "youtube",
  "handle": "pewdiepie",
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

A batch across platforms (addresses override the default platform):

{
  "mode": "profile",
  "platform": "tiktok",
  "handles": [
    "charlidamelio",
    "https://socialblade.com/youtube/@MrBeast",
    "https://socialblade.com/twitch/user/ninja"
  ],
  "maxConcurrency": 4
}

Leaderboard:

{ "mode": "top", "topSize": 100, "maxItems": 100 }

Field	Type	Description
mode	string	profile or top.
platform	string	youtube, tiktok, twitch, or instagram.
handle / handles	string / array	Creator handle(s) or full Social Blade addresses.
topSize	integer	top mode: 100 or 500 (both return 100 rows).
maxItems	integer	top mode: rows to keep (max 100).
maxConcurrency	integer	Creators fetched in parallel (default 4).
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings; Residential on by default.

Notes & limits

• Metrics differ by platform, deliberately. YouTube gives subscribers/views/videos, TikTok gives followers/likes/videos, Twitch gives followers, Instagram gives followers and engagement rate. Fields are passed through as published rather than forced into one shape.
• Instagram profiles carry no daily history in the public page — the account record comes through, history is empty.
• Facebook is not supported: those profile addresses return 404 upstream, so it is left out rather than shipped as a mode that always fails.
• Audience counts are rounded by the source (109,000,000 rather than an exact figure); the daily history rows are the finer-grained series.
• The leaderboard returns 100 rows per run. topSize: 500 is accepted upstream but still serves 100 creators per request.
• Counts are point-in-time; schedule the actor if you want a longer series than the 15 days each run carries.
