What data / output can you get?

Below are the exact fields this actor stores in the Apify dataset when it finds an email. Each item represents a single email lead matched to a YouTube URL.

Data type	Description	Example value
network	Source label derived from the selected platform (defaults to Youtube.com).	"Youtube.com"
keyword	The keyword used to discover this result.	"marketing"
title	The title text of the Google result (often channel or video title).	"Acme Marketing — YouTube"
description	The result snippet text where the email was detected (may be empty if not present).	"Business inquiries: hello@acmemarketing.com — Tutorials, case studies..."
url	Direct URL to the YouTube resource from the result.	"https://www.youtube.com/@acmemarketing"
email	The extracted email address (only rows with an email are saved).	"hello@acmemarketing.com"

Notes:

• Results are written to your Apify dataset in real time as matches are found.
• You can export results to JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify dataset.
• The description field may be empty if a snippet isn’t available; all saved items include an email.

Key features
