Introduction - API
ChannelCrawler is an API for finding and enriching YouTube channel data.
It helps you:
- Search for YouTube channels using filters or category matches
- Improve targeting for programmatic advertising
- Get email addresses, social links, and performance data
- Integrate YouTube channel data with tools like Clay, Apollo, HubSpot, Google ads and Zapier via HTTP request.
You control which channels you find, and you're only charged when results are returned.
Core Concepts
Discovery — Find new YouTube channels using filters such as location, audience size, activity level, and keyword matches in video titles or descriptions. Optionally include contact details in the results.
Enrichment — Add detailed data to known channels. Identify them by channel ID, URL, or social handle, and retrieve fields such as email contact, average views, category, social links, video data, and up to 365 days of performance history.
Priority queue — Use premium (higher-credit) requests to skip the queue and receive instant results for real-time workflows.
Credits — Credits are only charged when valid data is returned (for example, no email found = no charge).
