## Pricing

from $1.50 / 1,000 creators

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## Social Blade Scraper – YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch Stats

> **TubeText** · Social, apps & trends · Pay per result. No login. Ready for AI agents. [All tools](https://apify.com/tubetext)

### Quick start (no coding)

![Social Blade Scraper quick start: click Try for free, paste your input, click Start, export to Excel](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LMSlay/tubetext-assets/main/socialblade-quickstart.gif)

1. Click **Try for free** at the top of this page. A free Apify account is enough – it includes monthly credit.
2. In **Creators**, paste YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Twitch profile links (or @handles), one per line – or pick a **Top-100 list**.
3. Click **Start**. Usually under a minute for dozens of creators.
4. When it says **Succeeded**, open the **Output** tab and click **Export** → **Excel** (or CSV). One row per creator: Social Blade grade, followers, views, ranks, recent gains, estimated earnings and daily history.

**Cost:** $0.002 per creator – 100 creators ≈ $0.20.

**Common mistakes**

- Bare @handles look up the wrong platform → set **Default platform for bare @handles**, or paste full profile links.
- Want the biggest creators → pick a **Top-100 list** instead of pasting profiles.
- Need deeper YouTube video stats → use our [YouTube Channel Analytics](https://apify.com/tubetext/youtube-channel-analytics).

**Questions or problems?** [Open an issue](https://apify.com/tubetext/socialblade-scraper/issues) (we read every one). **Need a custom version?** Ask in an issue or [email us](mailto:tubettext@gmail.com) – we build it as a private Actor on Apify.

### Use from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client

Add `https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tubetext/socialblade-scraper` as a remote MCP server and sign in to Apify (Claude: **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**). Claude Code:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http tubetext "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tubetext/socialblade-scraper"
```

Then ask, for example: *"Get Social Blade stats for these TikTok and Instagram creators and rank them by 2-week growth."* or *"Show Social Blade's top 100 YouTube channels with their grades."*

🆓 **Free to try:** Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed – enough for about 2,500 creator reports with this tool.

**What you get** – real output from a test run, shortened. One row per creator (daily history and rankings in more columns):

| Platform | Creator | Grade | Followers | Gained (14 days) | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| youtube | Linus Tech Tips | B+ | 16,900,000 | 0 | 371 |
| tiktok | MrBeast | A++ | 143,800,000 | 1,500,000 | 3 |
| instagram | Cristiano Ronaldo | A+ | 680,213,508 |  | 2 |

### Social Blade API alternative for creator analytics

Call it from your back end with the Apify API. One request runs the Actor and returns the rows as JSON:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/tubetext~socialblade-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"profiles":["https://www.youtube.com/@MrBeast","https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame"],"includeDailyHistory":true}'
```

- **Monitoring:** Weekly tracking: schedule the run with your creator list. `includeDailyHistory` adds the recent day-by-day gains, so one weekly run keeps a continuous series. Add an Apify webhook to get notified when each run finishes.
- **Cost at volume:** 5,000 creators a week ≈ $10/week at the free-plan price ($0.002/creator).
- **Stable output:** field names don't change between runs. Failed or empty items come back as status rows that aren't billed, and every row has `charged: true/false`.
- **Why not the official API:** Social Blade's own Business API is credit-based and sold separately. Here you pay per creator returned, on your Apify account, with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Twitch in one schema.

Get **Social Blade stats for any YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Twitch creator** in bulk – **subscribers/followers, views, likes, videos/posts, Social Blade grade (A++ … D), global, country and category ranks, engagement rate (Instagram)**, plus **2-week growth, a daily history and YouTube earnings estimates**. Or pull Social Blade's **top-100 lists** per platform (YouTube by country). Paste profile links or @handles – no login, no API key. Built for influencer-marketing agencies and brands, talent managers, creator-economy analysts and media. **$2 per 1,000 creators.**

### What you get per creator

- 📊 **Stats** – followers/subscribers, following, total views (YouTube), total likes (TikTok), videos/posts, engagement rate, average likes and comments (Instagram)
- 🏅 **Social Blade grade and ranks** – overall SB rank, rank by followers, views, likes, country and category
- 📈 **Growth** – followers, views, likes and posts gained over the last ~2 weeks, average daily views
- 💵 **YouTube earnings estimate** – monthly range from recent daily views (Social Blade's $0.25–$4 per 1,000 views method)
- 🗓️ **Daily history** (optional) – the daily rows Social Blade shows without login (~15 days; not available for Instagram)
- 🔗 Country, category, account creation date, verified flag, profile link and Social Blade link
- 🏆 **Top-100 lists** – YouTube (global or by country), TikTok, Instagram and Twitch

### Input example

```json
{
  "profiles": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/@MrBeast",
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame",
    "https://www.instagram.com/cristiano/",
    "https://www.twitch.tv/kaicenat",
    "@mkbhd"
  ],
  "defaultPlatform": "youtube",
  "topLists": ["tiktok"],
  "includeDailyHistory": true
}
```

### Output example

Real row (Oct 2026, daily history shortened):

```json
{
  "platform": "youtube",
  "handle": "mrbeast",
  "name": "MrBeast",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/@mrbeast",
  "grade": "A++",
  "followers": 521000000,
  "views": 142490812161,
  "posts": 1006,
  "rankOverall": 9,
  "rankFollowers": 1,
  "rankViews": 6,
  "rankCountry": 1,
  "country": "US",
  "category": "entertainment",
  "historyDays": 14,
  "followersGained": 3000000,
  "viewsGained": 1478722889,
  "avgDailyViews": 105623064,
  "estMonthlyEarningsUsd": [792173, 12674768],
  "daily": [{"date": "2026-09-28", "subscribers": 518000000, "views": 141012089272, "videos": 1004}]
}
```

TikTok rows add `likes` and `likesGained`; Instagram rows add `engagementRate`, `averageLikes` and `averageComments`; top-list rows add `listRank`. Choose the **Creators** or **Top lists** view when exporting to Excel/CSV.

### Pricing

Pay per event:

- **$2.00 per 1,000 creators** (cheaper on higher Apify plans: down to $1.50) – a top-100 list is 100 creators ($0.20).
- Daily history is included at no extra cost.
- Start fee only $0.00005 per run. Creators that are not found and failed requests are free.

### Tips

- **Influencer shortlists**: paste 50–500 candidate creators across platforms and sort by `grade`, `followersGained` or `engagementRate`.
- **Growth monitoring**: schedule a daily or weekly run for your roster and compare `followers` per `handle` over time; send the results to Google Sheets, Slack or your CRM via Apify integrations, n8n, Make or Zapier.
- **Market maps**: pull the top-100 lists for several countries (`youtubeTopCountry`: us, gb, in, br…) and compare categories.
- **Deeper YouTube analysis**: our [YouTube Channel Analytics](https://apify.com/tubetext/youtube-channel-analytics) adds recent video performance for a single channel.

### FAQ

**Is this an official Social Blade API?** No. The Actor reads Social Blade's public pages without logging in and is not affiliated with Social Blade. It returns what Social Blade shows logged-out visitors.

**Why only ~2 weeks of history?** That is the history Social Blade shows without an account. Schedule the Actor to build your own long-term history.

**Why are some numbers rounded?** Platforms like YouTube and TikTok publish rounded subscriber and follower counts (e.g. 521M), so small gains can show as 0.

**What if a creator is not found?** Social Blade only tracks creators it knows; untracked or mistyped handles come back as a free `skipped` row. For YouTube, the @handle link works more reliably than a channel ID.

**Can I cap what a run costs?** Yes – set *Maximum cost per run* in the run options. The run stops cleanly when the next creator would go over it, and you are never charged more.

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
