## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

### FAQ — YouTube Keyword Email Search ❓

#### How does the YouTube Keyword Email Search find emails?

The actor uses your provided YouTube channel **keywords** and enriches each matching channel profile. It then extracts publicly listed email addresses from the collected channel information. Emails are only returned when found in publicly available channel data.

#### What types of YouTube profiles can I scrape?

It targets **YouTube channels** that match your keywords. Channels that don’t have public email information (when email filtering is enabled) may be skipped. When email-only mode is disabled, it will collect matching channels and still extract any emails it finds.

#### What did your tests show about the YouTube Keyword Email Search?

Results depend on how many channels in your chosen niche (and country filter) publish public email information. Email-only mode typically yields fewer leads but higher outreach relevance, while channel search mode yields broader discovery for YouTube keyword research and topic clustering keywords.

#### Why scrape YouTube for emails?

YouTube creator and brand channels often include contact emails in public descriptions. Scraping at scale saves hours of manual searching and supports faster outreach cycles—especially when you’re using YouTube SEO keywords to guide your research and prospecting.

#### How much does it cost to use the YouTube Keyword Email Search?

Pricing is based on Apify’s pay-per-result model. You’ll be charged per result produced, and the free tier is limited to **100 emails maximum**. Use `maxLeadsPerKeyword` to control how many leads are collected for each keyword.

#### How does the YouTube Keyword Email Search help my business?

It helps you turn YouTube keyword research into an actionable lead list by combining channel context (name, description, URL, subscriber/video counts) with extracted emails. That makes it easier to run outreach, partnerships, and recruitment workflows with clean, exportable YouTube data.

#### What are the challenges of using a YouTube scraper?

Not all channels list contact emails publicly, so email yields vary by niche. Some keywords may return fewer results, and country filtering can further change lead volume. If you need better coverage, try more keywords or adjust your country filter.

#### How do I choose the right YouTube Keyword Email Search query set?

Start with keywords that reflect your audience and search intent (for example, creator type, role, or industry). Use multiple keyword variations to improve coverage, and consider email-only mode when you want outreach-ready leads immediately. This approach also supports YouTube metadata keyword strategy and YouTube analytics for keywords.
