YouTube Channel Scraper: Stats, Videos & Subscriber History
Scrape YouTube channels in bulk: subscribers, exact total views, video count, join date, country, links, upload frequency and median views of the latest videos, plus the channel's videos, Shorts and live streams with exact views, likes, comments and dates. Run it on a schedule and every channel row shows its growth since the last run: subscribers, views and new videos.
No YouTube API key, no quota, no login. Use it as a YouTube channel API: one call returns clean JSON.
What you get
One row per channel. Real example, September 2026:
| channel | subscribers | total views | videos | joined | country | median views (last 10) | uploads / week |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MrBeast | 518M | 141,012,089,272 | 1,004 | 2012-02-19 | United States | 111,500,000 | 0.58 |
| Marques Brownlee | 21.3M | 5,705,526,352 | 1,853 | 2008-03-21 | United States | 5,900,000 | 1.4 |
| Veritasium | 21.3M | 4,604,129,961 | 536 | 2010-07-21 | United States | 6,350,000 | 0.64 |
| Lofi Girl | 15.8M | 2,691,176,684 | 460 | 2015-03-18 | France | 273,500 | 0.78 |
| Channel field | Description |
|---|---|
subscribers, subscribersText | Subscribers as YouTube shows them (518M) |
totalViews, videosCount, viewsPerVideo | Exact lifetime views of the channel, number of videos, average per video |
joinedDate, country, description, keywords | From the channel's About panel |
links, hasBusinessEmail | Website and social links; whether the channel lists a business email (YouTube shows it only after a captcha) |
recentVideosAvgViews, recentVideosMedianViews | Views of the 10 latest videos: what a new upload gets now |
videosLast30Days, uploadsPerWeek, lastUploadText, lastUploadDaysAgo | How active the channel is |
subscribersChange, totalViewsChange, videosCountChange, viewsPerDaySinceLastCheck, previousCheckAt | Growth since the previous run |
history | The last 30 checks: date, subscribers, total views, videos, ready for a chart |
isVerified, avatar, banner, channelId, channelHandle, channelUrl | Profile |
Then one row per video (type: video): title, contentType (video, short, stream), views, likes, comments, engagementRate, publishedDate, durationSeconds, description, url, thumbnail, position and the channel.
How it works
- Add channels:
@handle,youtube.com/@handle,/channel/UC..., a channel ID or any video link of the channel - Set Max videos per channel (0 = only the channel rows), Content (videos, Shorts, streams or all) and Videos order
- Run, then download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it as an API. The dataset has two views: Channels and Videos
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| Videos order | Newest, most popular or oldest first, as on the channel's tabs |
| Newer than | 7 days, 6 months or a date: only recent uploads |
| Exact video stats | Exact views, likes, comments and date for each video (on by default); off for fast lists of thousands of videos |
| Track subscriber and view history | Growth since the last run and the last 30 checks in every channel row (on by default) |
| Only new videos | Monitoring: later runs return only new uploads |

FAQ
Why are subscribers rounded? YouTube itself shows only rounded subscriber counts (518M, 21.3M) to everyone, including its API. Total views are exact.
How does the history work? The Actor stores each channel's numbers in your Apify account (key-value store youtube-channel-history) at every run of any task, and compares with the previous point. The first run has no change yet.
Can it get the business email? No. YouTube shows it only to signed-in users after a captcha; hasBusinessEmail tells you it exists, and links often has the contact site.
How many videos per channel? All of them: the channel tabs list every public video, Short and stream.
Use with the API and AI agents
Run it via the Apify API from Python, Node.js or any HTTP client, or connect it to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents through the Apify MCP server: "Compare @mkbhd and @LinusTechTips: which one grows faster and how often do they upload?"
Other YouTube tools

| YouTube Comments Scraper | Comments and replies of videos, Shorts and channels, only-new monitoring |

Is it legal?
The Actor reads only public data that YouTube shows to any visitor, without logging in, and does not download videos or personal contact data. Use it for research, analytics and monitoring.
