    "https://www.youtube.com/@OpenAI",
    "https://www.youtube.com/@GoogleDevelopers"
  ],
  "includeRecentVideos": true,
  "maxRecentVideos": 5
}

  "subscriberCount": 2670000,
  "videoCount": 6000,

}

Pricing

Recommended pricing: $1.00 per 1,000 channels ($0.001 per channel profile). This prices the Actor higher than video rows because each result is an enriched channel profile with optional recent videos.

Notes

This Actor uses publicly available YouTube surfaces and an unofficial InnerTube client. Some channels hide subscriber counts, restrict descriptions, or block public access; those inputs are reported in the ERRORS key-value record.
