YouTube Email Scraper

YouTube

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A YouTube-focused email-extraction connector that scans channel About pages and recent video descriptions in bulk to locate publicly-posted contact emails; it performs pattern matching, deduplication, normalization (lowercasing, punctuation cleanup) and false-positive filtering, and returns one per-channel record containing found emails, an audit trail linking each match to its source (channel About or specific video with URL and title), canonical channel metadata, public subscriber count, how many recent videos were scanned, and a success/error status.
