Overview

Extract public business emails, the external links each creator puts in the channel header, subscriber and video counts, and channel metadata from YouTube creators in bulk. Find influencer contact info and marketing leads without consuming Google Cloud YouTube API quotas.

Features

• Business Email Discovery: Reads the contact e-mail from the creator's own channel description. When there is none, businessEmail comes back null and hasBusinessEmail is false — no address is ever generated
• External Links: The links the creator added to the channel header (site, X, Instagram, Patreon, Discord, whatever they published), resolved through YouTube's redirect into a flat externalLinks array
• Channel Performance Metrics: subscriberCount and videoCount as integers, plus the exact strings YouTube renders (subscribersText, videosText) and the verified-badge flag
• Handle & URL Support: Accepts channel URLs, handles (e.g. @mkbhd), custom URLs, or search keywords
• No API Key Required: 100% public cloud extraction without Google Cloud API quota limitations

Input Example

{
  "channelUrls": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/@mkbhd",
    "@veritasium"
  ],
  "maxChannels": 20
}

Output Example

{
  "channelId": "UCBJycsmduvYEL83R_U4JriQ",
  "channelTitle": "Marques Brownlee",
  "channelHandle": "@mkbhd",
  "channelUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/@mkbhd",
  "businessEmail": null,
  "hasBusinessEmail": false,
  "subscribersText": "21.2M subscribers",
  "subscriberCount": 21200000,
  "videosText": "1.8K videos",
  "videoCount": 1800,
  "description": "Quality tech videos | YouTuber | Geek | Consumer Electronics Reviewer",
  "tags": [],
  "externalLinks": [
    "https://creator-site.example.com/",
    "https://x.com/example-handle"
  ],
  "avatarUrl": "https://yt3.googleusercontent.com/ytc/...",
  "rssUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCBJycsmduvYEL83R_U4JriQ",
  "isFamilySafe": true,
  "isVerified": true,
  "dataSource": "youtube-channel-page",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-20T21:00:00.000Z"
}

Every field above is read from YouTube's own channel data. Anything YouTube does not publish arrives as null (or []), so a missing value is visible instead of being filled in. Most creators do not publish a contact e-mail — that is why the example shows businessEmail: null.

✅ Capabilities & Limits

Stated up front, so you do not pay a run to find out. Derived from this Actor's own input schema.

Input / feature	Supported	Notes
channelUrls — required	✅	Full channel URLs or handles (e.g. '@mrbeast'). You must already know the channels.
Channel discovery by keyword	❌	this actor enriches channels you supply; it cannot find them for you
Result volume (maxChannels)	⚠️	caps how many of the supplied channels are processed
Business email	⚠️	only when the creator writes one in the channel description — no email is ever invented
Social links keyed by platform (twitter, instagram, discord)	❌	header links come back as one flat externalLinks array, in YouTube's own order; the actor does not label which platform each URL belongs to
Channel creation date	❌	not emitted
Proxy	⚠️	Apify residential proxies recommended for bulk runs

FAQ

Q: Do I need a Google Cloud YouTube API Key? A: No. This Actor runs on public web scraping protocols and does not consume your private YouTube API quotas.

Q: Where are the business emails extracted from? A: From the channel description the creator wrote. Nowhere else — matching e-mail patterns against raw page HTML produced malformed addresses, so that path was removed.

Q: Can I search by keywords instead of URLs? A: No. This actor is an enricher: you supply the channel URLs or handles, it returns their contact and metric data. There is no searchKeywords parameter — discovering channels by niche is a different job.

Visão Geral

Extraia e-mails comerciais públicos, os links externos que cada criador coloca no cabeçalho do canal, contagem de inscritos e vídeos e metadados de canais do YouTube em massa. Encontre contatos de influenciadores para parcerias e prospecção B2B sem precisar de chaves da API do YouTube.

Funcionalidades

• Descoberta de E-mails Comerciais: Lê o e-mail de contato na descrição escrita pelo próprio criador. Quando não há, businessEmail vem null e hasBusinessEmail vem false — nenhum endereço é gerado
• Links Externos: Os links que o criador colocou no cabeçalho do canal (site, X, Instagram, Patreon, Discord, o que ele publicou), resolvidos através do redirect do YouTube em um array externalLinks
• Métricas de Performance: subscriberCount e videoCount como inteiros, mais os textos exatos que o YouTube exibe (subscribersText, videosText) e o selo de verificação
• Suporte a Handles e URLs: Aceita URLs completas, handles (ex: @mkbhd) e URLs customizadas. Não aceita termos de busca: você fornece os canais, o actor os enriquece
• Sem Chave de API: Extração 100% pública em nuvem sem limites de cota da API do Google Cloud

Todo campo acima é lido dos dados do próprio canal no YouTube. O que o YouTube não publica chega como null (ou []), então a ausência fica visível em vez de ser preenchida. A maioria dos criadores não publica e-mail de contato — por isso o exemplo mostra businessEmail: null.

Não existe objeto socialLinks separado por plataforma: os links do cabeçalho vêm juntos em externalLinks, na ordem em que o YouTube os publica.

Parâmetros de Entrada

Parâmetro	Tipo	Descrição
channelUrls	string[]	Lista de URLs ou handles de canais do YouTube (ex: ["@mkbhd", "@MrBeast"])
maxChannels	number	Máximo de canais a extrair (padrão: 10)
onlyWithEmail	boolean	Retorna só canais que publicaram e-mail de contato (padrão: false)
proxyConfiguration	object	Configuração de Proxy Apify (Residencial recomendado)

Dicas

• Use handles como @mkbhd para a busca mais rápida
• Exporte os resultados diretamente para CSV ou Excel para campanhas de cold email

Casos de Uso

• Influencer Marketing — Encontre e-mails de contato de criadores para patrocínios e parcerias
• Agências de Criadores — Enriqueça uma lista de canais que você já tem
• Inteligência Competitiva — Monitore o crescimento de inscritos e presença social de canais
• Geração de Leads B2B — Monte listas de e-mails qualificadas de criadores de conteúdo

Perguntas Frequentes

P: Preciso de chave de API do Google Cloud YouTube? R: Não. Este Actor utiliza protocolos públicos de extração web e não consome suas cotas de API do Google.

P: De onde são extraídos os e-mails? R: Da descrição escrita pelo criador no canal. De nenhum outro lugar — casar padrão de e-mail contra o HTML bruto gerava endereços malformados, então esse caminho foi removido.

P: Posso buscar por palavras-chave em vez de URLs? R: Não. Este actor é um enriquecedor: você fornece as URLs ou handles dos canais e ele devolve contato e métricas. Não existe o parâmetro searchKeywords — descobrir canais por nicho é outro trabalho.
