## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### What is YouTube Channel Email Scraper?

Influencer outreach starts with a list of creators in your niche and a way to reach them. **YouTube Channel Email Scraper** turns a keyword like "fitness coach" into a ready-to-email creator list: it runs YouTube's own channel search, opens every channel's About page, and collects subscribers, country, socials and any public business email, then checks the creator's own website for a contact email when the description has none. You only pay for channels returned, and the email fee is charged only when an email is actually found.

### What does it do?

- **Niche discovery**: YouTube search with the Channels filter for each keyword, up to 500 channels per keyword
- **Direct channels too**: add @handles, channel URLs or IDs
- **Channel data**: name, handle, ID, subscribers, total views, video count, country, join date, avatar
- **Public emails from the description** (business@, collab@, contact@ …)
- **Website emails (on by default)**: visits the creator's own site (homepage, then a contact/about page) linked on the channel
- **Socials**: Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitch, Discord, Patreon links
- **Subscriber filters**: min/max range for micro- or macro-influencers; filtered channels are not charged
- **Only-with-email mode** for outreach-ready lists

### Why choose us over cheaper scrapers?

- **Honest output**: limits are documented, missing data is labeled, never invented
- **Clean, consistent schema** ready for Excel, Sheets, BI tools or an LLM
- **No account risk**: no logins, no cookies, no API keys
- **Pay per result** with a built-in cost guard; no subscription, failed items are never charged
- **Fast and light**: no residential proxy, so runs finish in seconds and stay cheap
- **Maintained by IntelScrape** and fixed fast when the source changes

### Who is it for?

- **SaaS & product launches**: reach YouTubers who review tools in your category

### How to use it

#### In Apify Console (no code)

1. Click **Try for free** / **Start**. The form is prefilled with a working example.
2. Change the inputs (see examples below).
3. Click **Start**, then export the results as **JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML**, or open them in Google Sheets.
4. Optional: **Schedule** the actor to run hourly, daily or weekly.

#### Via API

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/intelscrape~youtube-channel-email-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \

```

Or use the official [Apify JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/) clients:

run = client.actor("intelscrape/youtube-channel-email-scraper").call(run_input={"searchQueries": ["fitness coach"], "maxChannelsPerQuery": 20, "minSubscribers": 1000, "crawlWebsites": true})
for item in client.dataset(run["default_dataset_id"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

#### With AI agents (MCP)

Add Apify's MCP server (`https://mcp.apify.com`) or the [IntelScrape MCP Server](https://apify.com/intelscrape/skip--trace) to Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client, then ask in plain language, e.g. *"Run intelscrape/youtube-channel-email-scraper with the default input and summarise the results."*

### Input examples

**One niche, 20 channels, website emails on (default)**

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["fitness coach"],
  "maxChannelsPerQuery": 20,
  "minSubscribers": 1000,
  "crawlWebsites": true
}
```

**Micro-influencers with email only**

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["vegan recipes", "meal prep"],
  "maxChannelsPerQuery": 100,
  "minSubscribers": 5000,
  "maxSubscribers": 100000,
  "onlyWithEmail": true
}
```

**Enrich known channels**

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [],
  "channels": ["@mkbhd", "https://www.youtube.com/@veritasium"]
}
```

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `searchQuery` | Keyword that found the channel |
| `channelId / channelName / handle / channelUrl` | Channel identity |
| `subscriberCount / subscriberCountText` | Subscribers (YouTube rounds public counts) |
| `totalViews / videoCount / country / joinedDate` | Channel stats from the About page |
| `emails / primaryEmail / emailSource` | All public emails, the first one, and where it came from |
| `descriptionEmails / websiteEmails` | Emails from the channel description and from the creator website |
| `hasBusinessEmailButton` | Channel also has a sign-in-only business email (we never bypass it) |
| `website / websitePagesChecked` | Creator website and the pages checked |
| `externalLinks / socials` | All About-page links and social profiles |
| `description / avatarUrl` | About text (first 1,500 chars) and avatar |

#### Sample output

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "fitness coach",
  "channelName": "Example Fitness",
  "handle": "@examplefitness",
  "subscriberCount": 20400,
  "country": "United States",
  "primaryEmail": "team@examplefitness.com",
  "emailSource": "channel website",
  "website": "https://examplefitness.com",
  "socials": { "instagram": "https://instagram.com/examplefitness" }
}
```

### Pricing (pay per event)

| Event | When it is charged | Price |
|---|---|---|
| **Actor start** | once per run | $0.005 |
| **Channel scraped** | per channel returned | $0.003 |
| **Email found** | per channel with a public email (only when found) | $0.02 |

#### Cost examples

| Run | Cost |
|---|---|
| Default run: 20 channels, ~5 with email | $0.165 |
| 500 channels, ~150 with email | $4.505 |
| Only-with-email list of 100 | $2.305 |

Platform usage is included in these prices. Set **Max charge per run** in the run options to cap spend; the actor stops cleanly when the limit is reached and keeps everything collected so far.

### Tips for best results

- Use specific keywords ("keto recipes", not "food") for tighter niches.
- Set a max subscriber count to target micro-influencers, who answer more emails.
- Turn on onlyWithEmail when you only want outreach-ready rows.
- Run several related keywords in one run; duplicates are merged.

### FAQ

#### Do you get the hidden "View email address" email?

No. That email needs a signed-in account and a captcha; we never bypass it. We report hasBusinessEmailButton so you know it exists.

#### Where do the emails come from?

Only public sources: the channel description and the creator's own website linked on the channel.

#### Am I charged for channels without email?

The channel row is $0.003; the $0.02 email fee is charged only when an email is found. Use onlyWithEmail to skip channels without one.

#### Are filtered channels charged?

No. Channels outside your subscriber range are skipped for free.

#### Do I need a YouTube API key?

No, and there is no daily quota.

#### Is this legal?

It collects publicly listed business contact details. Follow CAN-SPAM/GDPR and the platform rules when you reach out.

#### Is this a YouTube email extractor?

Yes. It collects the public business emails shown in a channel's description and, with `crawlWebsites` on (the default), on the creator's own website linked from the channel. It does not reveal the hidden "View email address" button email, which needs a signed-in account and a captcha; the `hasBusinessEmailButton` field tells you when one exists.

#### How do I find a YouTube creator's email by niche?

Put a keyword such as `fitness coach` in `searchQueries`, set `maxChannelsPerQuery` and a `minSubscribers` floor, and run it. Use `onlyWithEmail` to return only channels where a public email was found. To check channels you already know, add their @handles or URLs to `channels`.

#### Can I get YouTube channel emails in bulk?

Yes. Each keyword can return many channels (up to 500 per keyword), and you can add several keywords in one run; duplicates are merged. Not every creator lists a public email: typical hit rates are 20-40% depending on the niche. Channels outside your subscriber range are skipped for free.

#### Is it an influencer email scraper for other platforms too?

No, this Actor covers YouTube only. For TikTok creators see [TikTok Email Scraper](https://apify.com/intelscrape/tiktok-scraper), and for bio-link pages see [Linktree Scraper](https://apify.com/intelscrape/bio-link-email-scraper).

#### What does a creator email finder like this cost?

Pay per event: $0.005 per run start, $0.003 per channel returned, and $0.02 per channel only when a public email is found. Set a maximum charge per run to cap spend.

### Honest limits

- YouTube rounds public subscriber counts.
- Not every creator lists a public email; typical hit rates are 20-40% depending on niche.
- Some creator websites block bots or hide emails behind forms.
- Search returns what YouTube shows for the keyword; very broad keywords mix in large brands.
