Fetch YouTube channel profile metadata and statistics from handles, URLs, or channel IDs.
Fetch YouTube channel profile metadata and statistics from handles, URLs, or channel IDs.
YouTube Channel Scraper resolves YouTube channels from @handles, channel URLs, or UC… IDs and returns clean profile metadata: title, description, subscriber count, video count, total views, country, join date, and canonical channel URL. Each successful row is typed as channel and ready for CRM, BI, or enrichment pipelines.
Built for market researchers, brand analysts, agencies, and growth teams who need reliable channel intelligence without maintaining brittle browser scrapers. Pass a list of competitors, creators, or leads; the Actor resolves handles and custom URLs to stable channel IDs, then fetches details concurrently.
Output is structured JSON — not screenshots or raw HTML. Use channelId and url as keys to feed YouTube Channel Videos Scraper, YouTube Channel Shorts Scraper, or YouTube Video Scraper for deeper content extraction. Per-target failures are isolated as type: "error" rows so one bad handle does not abort the whole run.
Whether you are sizing a creator roster, benchmarking competitor subscriber growth, or building a YouTube master data table, this scraper delivers consistent, machine-readable channel profiles at scale.
