FAQ

How accurate is the revenue estimate? Revenue is an estimate based on views and typical YouTube ad rates, given as a low, mid and high range. Use it for comparison, not accounting.

What is the outlier score? How a video performs compared to the channel's average views: 2.0 means twice the usual views.

Why are subscriber counts rounded? YouTube publicly shows rounded subscriber counts, so growth in subscribers moves in steps.

What formats can I export? CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, HTML and RSS, or read the results through the Apify API.

Can I integrate ViewStats Scraper with other apps? ViewStats Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JS/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.

Is it legal to scrape YouTube channel analytics? The scraper only collects publicly available channel statistics. You are responsible for using the data in line with the source's terms and applicable law.
