You only pay for what you get: a verified email is billed, a failed lookup is free.

• 💸 Cheaper per email found: $0.025 per verified email, and channels without an email cost nothing. Many YouTube email tools bill every channel processed, or charge $0.10+ per email.
• ✅ You only pay for verified emails: every address is checked by SMTP before it is billed.
• 🔎 Search by niche included: no need to bring a list of channels, type a niche ("dropshipping", "fitness coach", "personal finance") and get the channels with their emails.

What it does

• Find channels (search mode): type niche keywords ("dropshipping", "personal finance", "home workout", "AI tools"), pick a language and a country, and the actor finds matching YouTube channels through Google, then looks for each one's business email.
• Find emails for my list (list mode): paste channel URLs, @handles, channel ids (UC…) or video URLs, and get each channel with its business email.

Where the email comes from

YouTube hides many business emails behind "Sign in to see email address". This actor never signs in and never reads that hidden email: it finds the creator's email where the creator published it, then checks it by SMTP.

1. Channel description: an email written in the About text (including name [at] domain [dot] com).
2. Website: the link-in-bio page (Linktree, Beacons…), then the creator's own website: homepage, contact page, legal notice, about page.
3. Business-address dictionary on the website domain: contact@, info@, hello@, bonjour@, hi@, support@, partenariat(s)@, collab@, business@, pro@, marketing@, then firstname@ and firstname.lastname@.
4. Guessed domain: many creators own <handle>.com without linking it. The actor tries the handle and the channel name with .com, .fr, .io and .co (with and without dots or dashes), keeps only a domain that has a mail server, checks that its homepage belongs to the creator (it links to the channel or names it), reads the emails on that homepage, then tries the same dictionary.
5. Our database: emails found in earlier runs are served from our database. An email older than 30 days is re-verified by SMTP before being served.
6. Deep search (optional, off by default): when none of the steps above finds a public email, the actor can query additional third-party data sources on the Apify Store (cheapest first, the next one only for what is still missing). They are billed at their own rate directly to your Apify account and appears in your runs; we add no fee on those emails. It is capped to a share of your channels (max 25 %, at most 50 channels per run) and to a maximum charge per run (0.15 $ per channel, Apify minimum 1 $), so you never pay more than announced; you only pay the emails it actually returns.

Every address is verified by SMTP (mail server handshake, catch-all probe) before it is billed.

Role addresses (contact@, info@…)

Email verifiers rate role addresses as "risky" by design, even when the mailbox exists. For YouTube business contacts, these addresses are the answer creators want brands to use. So a role address counts as verified and billable when the mail server confirms the mailbox is deliverable and the domain is not catch-all, and "role" is the only risk (not disabled, not a full inbox, not disposable). The email_is_role field tells you which emails are role addresses.

Pricing

Store discounts: on Apify Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond plans, some events cost up to 20 % less. The Pricing tab of the Store page shows the exact price for each plan.

Pay per event, no start fee:

Event	Price
email-found: a verified business email	$0.025 ($25 per 1,000)
search-result: a channel found by the niche search	$0.0065 ($6.50 per 1,000)

Deep search (optional): emails found by the additional source are billed by that source at its own rate, directly to your Apify account; we charge nothing on them.

Coming soon: an email the creator published (description, links, website, linked Instagram / TikTok) on a catch-all mail server will be billed at half the price of a verified email ($0.0125), while a catch-all guess (contact@… pattern) stays free; until this is enabled, both are free.

Free: channels without a verified email, catch-all guesses, unverified public emails, channels filtered out by your subscriber range, channels that cannot be read. Set a maximum cost per run in Run options: the actor stops before going over it.

Works with a free Apify account too. Free-plan accounts can use every feature at the same per-result prices, paid from their monthly Apify credit. Limit: free accounts share a daily capacity; once it is used up, the remaining inputs are skipped with one free-plan-limit row (not charged). Retry the next day, or switch to a paid Apify plan to run without this limit.

Tips

• In search mode, set language and country to the audience's (e.g. fr / fr for French creators).
• Use minSubscribers / maxSubscribers to target micro or mid-size creators.
• requireEmail keeps only channels with a usable email.
• Results are cached for 30 days: a channel looked up recently is served instantly, at the same price.

FAQ

Do you read the email hidden behind "Sign in to see email address"? No. That would need a YouTube account and a CAPTCHA. The actor finds the email where the creator published it elsewhere (description, website, social bios), which also makes it a contact the creator chose to make public.

Why are some emails not billed? Only SMTP-verified emails are billed. Catch-all servers accept any address, so a guess on them cannot be confirmed: it is delivered for free with email_status: "catch-all".

Is it legal? The actor only collects business contact data that creators made public. You are responsible for using it in line with the laws that apply to you (privacy and anti-spam rules).
