Social Blade Scraper

Social Blade Scraper

Scrape Social Blade creator rankings, stats, and top lists for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, and Facebook. Get subscriber counts, view totals, uploads, and country rankings in one flat dataset. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Social Blade's public rankings are the fastest way to see which creators are growing, but the site has no official API and manual copying is slow. This Actor reads the top lists and profile pages directly, filtered by platform, sort order, and country, and returns each creator as one clean row.

What it does

This Actor collects Social Blade creator profiles from top lists or direct URLs and returns each one as a flat row with rank, platform, username, subscriber or follower count, video or view totals, and country.

• 🌍 Platform top lists: scrape the most subscribed, most viewed, or most followed creators on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, or Facebook.
• 🔗 Direct URL mode: paste any Social Blade profile or top list URL and get exactly that page as structured data.
• 🌐 Country filter: narrow the top list to a single country code like US, GB, or IN, or leave empty for worldwide.
• 📊 Flat row output: every creator comes back as one row with rank, username, counts, and country, ready for CSV or Excel.
• ⚡ Up to 1,000,000 profiles: paid users can pull the full top list in one run; free users are limited to 100.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your filters match a real top list. For example, mostfollowed is valid for Instagram and TikTok but not for YouTube. Also try a direct URL to confirm the page loads.

Why did the run stop at 100 profiles?

Free Apify users are limited to 100 items per run. Upgrade to a paid plan to increase maxItems up to 1,000,000.

Why is the country filter not working?

Use the two-letter country code, like US or GB, without spaces. If the country is not available for that platform, the worldwide list is returned.

Why does a direct URL return only one row?

A direct profile URL returns that single creator. To get a list, use a top list URL or the platform and sortBy filters.

Why are some fields empty?

Social Blade sometimes hides certain stats for smaller creators or on certain platforms. The Actor returns what is publicly visible.
