YouTube Channel Email Finder — Business Emails of Creators

How do I find the email address of a YouTube channel?

Use the YouTube Channel Email Scraper with channel URLs, @handles or keywords. For each channel it reads the business email written in the channel description; if there is none, it opens the creator’s own website (home and /contact page). Every email is checked against its domain’s mail server. It also flags channels whose email is hidden behind YouTube’s “View email address” button (never bypassed). $0.004 per email found + $0.0005 per channel checked.

FAQ

Are emails guessed?
No. Only emails the creator publishes in the bio or on their own website.

What does hasHiddenEmail mean?
The channel shares an email only through YouTube’s protected button, which needs a signed-in human.
