FAQ

Do I need a YouTube API key? No.

Why is country or links empty for some channels? The channel owner didn't set them. The Actor returns what the channel's About panel shows.

How exact are the numbers? totalViews and joinedDate are exact. subscribers is YouTube's rounded public figure (e.g. 21.4M); YouTube doesn't publish exact counts.

A channel returned nothing. It's listed under FAILED_SOURCES in the run's key-value store. Check the handle opens in your browser.

Want the channel's videos too? Use our YouTube Scraper (channel videos with views, likes and dates) or YouTube Shorts Scraper.
