YouTube Channel Scraper — Profile, Videos, Shorts, Comments & Emails

The whole YouTube channel in a single run: channel profile (with extracted business emails & unwrapped social links), every long-form video and Short (with exact views, real upload dates, and optional likes), and audience comments underneath them.

Start from an @handle, channel ID (UC...), or URL and get a clean dataset ready for influencer outreach, competitor intelligence, or BI dashboards.

Pricing at a glance

Results collected	You pay
50 results (e.g. 2 channels × 25 videos)	$0.15
1,000 results	$3.00

• $3.00 per 1,000 results ($0.003 / result).
• Exact numbers, zero rounding: instead of "1.7M views" and "9 months ago", every video row carries the exact integer viewCount (1748203) and ISO uploadDate (2026-01-31).
• In-crawl filtering saves you money: minViews, maxDaysOld, and minUploadDate stop the crawl early so you don't pay to scrape thousands of old videos you don't want.
