## FAQ

### Why do some channels return nothing?

Around two thirds of YouTube channels publish no reachable address. Widening the search was tested on 80 empty channels and converted 1 of them, so this is a ceiling rather than a setting. Empty channels are never billed.

### Will this work for my niche?

It varies a lot. In a 350-channel sample, sponsorship niches such as skincare and finance averaged 56%, instructional ones 36%, and hobby, craft and gaming 23%. A 50-channel pilot reports the real rate in the run log.

### Are the addresses verified, and can the keywords be changed?

Not verified: they come back as published, each carrying the source it was read from. Verifying before a large send is sensible. Skincare and finance are only the example here; any keyword works.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [YouTube Channel Email Finder](https://apify.com/trufflepig/youtube-channel-email-finder.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/trufflepig/youtube-channel-email-finder.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
