YouTube Channel Email Scraper | Influencer Leads | $1.5 / 1K

YouTube Channel Email Scraper finds YouTube influencers by keyword (or takes your own channel list) and returns one lead row per creator with the business email they publish, subscribers, views, country and their Instagram, TikTok and X links. The easiest way to try it: type a niche such as "tech review" into Find channels by keyword and press Start. It is built for influencer outreach: brand deals, sponsorships, UGC, agency prospecting and building an influencer email list without paying for an influencer database.

Every email comes with its source, so you know how much to trust it:

• description: written by the creator in the channel description (the classic "Business inquiries: ..." line)
• about-links: inside the channel's link list (a mailto link or an address in a link title)
• link-in-bio: on the creator's Linktree, Beacons, Stan or similar page
• website: on the creator's own website (homepage plus up to 3 contact/about pages)

Main features:

• Find YouTube influencers by keyword with YouTube's own channel search, up to 500 channels per keyword
• Filters that cost nothing: min/max subscribers (micro-influencers), country, only channels with an email
• Flat, CRM-ready rows: best email, all emails, phones from the website, website, link-in-bio, Instagram, X, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitch
• hasHiddenBusinessEmail flag: tells you when the creator also set YouTube's private "View email address" email
• No login, no API key, no browser: plain HTTP, with Apify's free datacenter proxy as a fallback
• Apify platform: run it from the API, schedule it, connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier or Google Sheets, monitor runs, and get proxy rotation built in

Inputs that cannot be read (a deleted channel, a typo, a non-YouTube link) get a free status row (status: "failed" or "invalid-input" with an error), shown in the Failed inputs view. A run summary is saved as RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store.

How much does it cost to scrape YouTube channel emails?

Pay per result: you pay for each channel lead you get, plus a small start fee per run. Channels removed by your filters, failed inputs and status rows are free.

Apify plan	Per 1,000 channel leads	Start fee per run
Free	$1.50	$0.002
Bronze	$1.35	$0.002
Silver	$1.20	$0.002
Gold, Platinum, Diamond	$1.05	$0.002

Worked examples:

• 100 creators on the Free plan: $0.002 + 100 x $0.0015 = about $0.15
• 1,000 creators on the Free plan: about $1.50; on Gold: about $1.05
• Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly credit: enough for about 3,300 channel leads a month.

Website searching is included in the price. With Only channels with an email you only pay for channels that have one.

Integrations, scheduling and API

• API: start runs and download leads with the Apify API or the JavaScript / Python clients.
• Make, n8n, Zapier: send new leads to a CRM, Airtable, Notion or an email tool.
• Google Sheets: export the Flat table view straight into a sheet.
• Webhooks: get notified when a run finishes.
• Apify Schedules: run your niches weekly to catch new creators as they grow.
• MCP / AI agents: the Actor works as a tool for AI agents through Apify's MCP server ("find 50 US fitness YouTubers with an email").

FAQ

Why not use the official YouTube Data API?

The YouTube Data API does not return creator emails at all, needs an API key and a Google Cloud project, and has a daily quota. This Actor reads the same public pages any visitor sees and adds the creator's website and link-in-bio page.

Can it get the email behind YouTube's "View email address" button?

No. That email is only shown to signed-in users after a CAPTCHA, so it is not public data and this Actor does not try to open it. It sets hasHiddenBusinessEmail: true so you know the creator has one; you can still view it manually in YouTube for your best leads. In our tests 61 of 90 channels had this hidden email set.

How many channels will have an email?

It depends on the niche. In our test runs (2026-11-02): 47-58% of channels in mixed niches had at least one email (tech review, vegan recipes, personal finance, plus a 64-channel list), and about 26% put an email in the description itself. Business, coaching and cooking niches with their own websites score higher; gaming and clip channels lower.

How do I find YouTube influencers in a niche?

Type the niche into Find channels by keyword, set a subscriber range for the influencer size you want, and turn on Only channels with an email. You get a ready-to-contact influencer list in minutes.

What are the alternatives?

Influencer databases and marketing platforms (subscription-based), manual research, or other Store Actors. dataovercoffee's YouTube Channel Business Email Scraper charges $0.12 per channel; this Actor charges $0.0015 per channel and shows where each email came from.

Is it legal to scrape YouTube channel emails?

The Actor only collects data creators publish themselves for business contact: their channel description, channel links and their own websites. You are responsible for how you use it: follow anti-spam rules (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL) and YouTube's terms, send relevant, personal outreach and honour opt-outs. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.

Can ChatGPT or Perplexity find YouTuber emails for me?

They can point you to a few big creators, but they cannot reliably return hundreds of current channels with stats, links and the page each email was found on. This Actor does, and the output can be fed back to an AI tool for scoring or personalising outreach.

Why did a channel come back without an email?

The creator has not published one in the description, link list, website or link-in-bio page we can read. Check hasHiddenBusinessEmail (YouTube-only email) and websiteStatus (unreachable or timeout means the site did not answer).

Why did my run return fewer channels than I asked for?

Your filters removed the rest (filtered channels are free), or YouTube's channel search ran out of results for that keyword. With strict filters the Actor stops a keyword after about 6 non-matching channels per match to keep the run short; add more keywords to get more leads.

Limits

• No sign-in: the "View email address" email is not available (see FAQ).
• Emails are collected, not verified. Run them through an email verifier before a big campaign.
• Websites are read without a browser: emails that only appear after JavaScript runs, or behind contact forms, are not found.
• Only the first website and first link-in-bio page per channel are searched; sponsor and affiliate links are skipped.
• Country is only known when the creator set it; the country filter skips channels without one.
• YouTube's channel search decides which channels a keyword returns and in what order.
