YouTube

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

Find a YouTube creator's email, website, Instagram, TikTok, X, Twitch, Facebook, Patreon, and Discord by mining their channel and video descriptions.

Read full description

Extracts a YouTube channel's public contact graph by scraping channel About text, branding description, and recent video descriptions to surface business contact points and cross-platform presence. The connector discovers and normalizes a creator's primary business email plus any additional email addresses, social profiles (Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, Twitch, Facebook, Patreon, Discord) as handles with URLs, the main external website and other external links (storefronts, affiliate pages, newsletters), a list of detected platforms, a numeric outreach-readiness score weighted toward email presence, and channel metadata such as title, channel URL/custom URL, country, subscriber count, and video count. It produces one consolidated profile per channel and can widen link discovery by scanning a configurable number of recent video descriptions.

      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.usesourcelane.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {

      }
