SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Finding a YouTube creator's business contact email usually means manually opening each channel's About page, scanning the description, and visiting linked personal sites one by one. This Skill automates that lookup so you can build creator contact lists for outreach, sponsorship, and lead generation at scale.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Flexible channel input: Accepts a channel id (UCxxx), handle (@name), bare handle, or any channel URL and normalizes it into a canonical /about URL.
  • About page extraction: Reads ytInitialData to pull the description, channel id, name, country, subscriber/view/video counts, joined date, and outbound links classified as social, link aggregator, or personal/business.
  • Email recovery fallback: When the description has no email, follows non-social outbound links (personal sites, link aggregators) and scans those pages for an email, including obfuscated forms like name [at] brand [dot] io.
  • Use Case: An agency has a list of 200 YouTube creators for a sponsorship campaign. Run the batch workflow to produce one JSON record per channel with the business email, its source, and full channel metadata.

Quick Start

Use the youtube-channel-business-email skill to find the business email and channel metadata for the YouTube channel @example.

Frequently Asked Questions about youtube-channel-business-email

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find a YouTube channel's business email?▼

Provide the channel id (UCxxx), handle (@name), or channel URL. The Skill opens the channel's About page, scans the description for email addresses, and if none is found, follows non-social outbound links to the creator's personal or business site to recover an email there.

How to extract YouTube channel emails in bulk for outreach?▼

Write a bash loop that processes channel inputs serially within one browser session, appending one JSON record per channel to an output file. Test with 1-2 channels first, then run the full batch; use multiple stealth sessions to increase throughput since rate limits apply per session.

Can this extract emails behind the YouTube View email address button?▼

No. The reveal button is gated by reCAPTCHA and a server-side check that rejects programmatically solved captcha tokens. Only emails published in the description text or on a creator-controlled outbound website can be recovered.

What channel metadata does the YouTube About page extraction return?▼

It returns the channel id, display name, canonical URL, description, country, subscriber count, view count, video count, joined date, and outbound links classified as social, link aggregator, or personal/business. Counter values are returned verbatim in the browser's locale.

Why does email extraction fail for some YouTube channels?▼

Many large creators keep their email behind the captcha-gated reveal button and leave the description empty. Sites that hide emails behind contact forms or JS-rendered modals also yield nothing, since outbound link fetching only reads the landing page's initial markdown.
