What is 🎬 YouTube Channel Email Scraper?

🎬 YouTube Channel Email Scraper is an Apify actor that finds public email addresses related to YouTube by querying Google (site:youtube.com) with your keywords and extracting emails from the search results.

Designed for influencer outreach, B2B lead gen, and research teams, this YouTube channel email finder delivers structured contact records to your dataset so you can scale prospecting with confidence.

What data / output can you get?

Below are the exact JSON fields the actor saves to the dataset. Each row includes only publicly available information parsed from Google search results that reference YouTube.

Data type	Description	Example value
