YouTube Channel Contact Scraper — Email, Website & Social Links

Find YouTube creators and pull their contact details in bulk. Search by keyword or niche, or paste a list of channels, and get for each one: channel name, subscribers, views, country, join date, business email, website and every social link — Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Discord and more.

Built for influencer marketing, creator outreach and lead generation. Fast, keyless, and ready to export to your CRM or outreach tool.

Why this Actor?

Finding creators is easy; getting their contact details at scale is not. YouTube shows a channel's business email behind a click and scatters its links across the page. This Actor turns a keyword or a channel list into a clean, structured contact sheet:

• Discover channels by keyword/niche — one keyword returns dozens to hundreds of matching creators.
• Enrich each channel with subscribers, views, country and join date.
• Extract the business email, website and all social profiles — the exact fields you need to reach out.

It's perfect for building influencer shortlists, partnership pipelines and creator databases without copying and pasting from hundreds of channel pages.

What you can do with it

• Influencer marketing — build a shortlist of creators in a niche with their size, country and email in one table.
• Brand partnerships & sponsorships — reach the business/partnership inbox directly instead of a contact form.
• Agency lead generation — assemble creator lead lists to pitch your services to.
• Competitor & market research — map the creators in a topic, their reach and their other social channels.
• Multi‑platform outreach — get each creator's Instagram/TikTok/Twitter so you can reach them where they respond.
• CRM enrichment — turn a list of channel URLs into a full contact record.

What you get — output fields

One record per channel:

Field	Description
channelName	Channel name
handle	@handle
channelUrl	Canonical channel URL
channelId	YouTube channel ID
subscribers	Subscriber count as a number (e.g. 21100000)
subscribersText	Subscriber count as shown (e.g. 21.1M subscribers)
videoCount	Number of videos
viewCount	Total channel views
country	Channel country
joinedDate	When the channel was created

Email is present for a large share of creator/business channels; when a channel doesn't publish one on YouTube, the Actor can look on its linked website (see enrichFromWebsite).

Use cases in detail

1. Build an influencer shortlist

Search your niche (e.g. "skincare routine"), set minSubscribers to your target size, and get a table of creators with subscribers, country and email — ready to filter and pitch.

2. Reach the right inbox

email is the creator's public business/contact address, so your outreach lands in the inbox they actually use for partnerships — not a generic form.

3. Multi‑channel outreach

socialLinks gives you each creator's Instagram, TikTok, X and more, so if email goes unanswered you can follow up where they're most active.

4. Size and vet creators

subscribers, viewCount and videoCount let you gauge reach and consistency before you invest time reaching out.

5. Map a niche

Run several keywords for a topic and you get a map of the creators in that space, their audiences and their links — great for competitive and market research.

6. Keep a creator database fresh

Schedule the Actor on your keyword set to keep discovering new channels and refreshing contact details over time.

Tips for the best results

• Use specific keywords. "budget mechanical keyboards" finds more relevant creators than "tech".
• Run many keywords to cover a niche broadly — each one brings a fresh set of channels.
• Set minSubscribers to filter out tiny channels and focus on creators at your target size.
• Keep enrichFromWebsite on to recover emails for channels that don't show one on YouTube.
• Filter email is not empty in your export to get an instantly actionable outreach list.
• Raise concurrency and enable proxy for very large keyword sets.

Frequently asked questions

How does it discover channels from a keyword? It searches YouTube for channels matching the keyword and collects them up to your limit, then reads each channel's about page for the details.

Where does the email come from? From the channel's own public contact/business email and description. If none is shown and enrichFromWebsite is on, it checks the channel's linked website. It never logs in or contacts anyone.

Why is email or website sometimes empty? Not every creator publishes a business email or a website. Social links and channel metrics are still returned.

Can I pass @handles or channel IDs? Yes — full URLs, @handles and UC… channel IDs all work.

How many channels can it handle? From a few to many thousands. Use multiple keywords and/or a large channel list; raise concurrency and enable proxy for big runs.

In which format can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML table, or via the Apify API.

Do I need an API key? No. Just enter keywords or channels and run.
