Learn how ChannelCrawler downloads work, from exporting YouTube emails to summaries, using credits efficiently to scale influencer outreach.
If you need to download YouTube influencer emails or export creator data, ChannelCrawler makes it simple. You can quickly export verified contact info and channel performance summaries into CSV files, helping you organise leads and scale your influencer outreach campaigns efficiently.
Here’s how credits are used and how to save money when scaling up your downloads.
Watch the walkthrough here:
ChannelCrawler gives you access to the most complete YouTube dataset on the market, verified and exportable. You can:
- Search 21+ million public channels by niche, language, and audience metrics
- Export contact emails or performance data directly into CSV files
- Scale campaigns across countries and verticals without subscriptions or hidden fees
Takeaway: You’re always in control of what you download, how much you spend, and which data points you use.
How does Email & Download Credits Work?
ChannelCrawler uses a simple, flexible credit system, think of it as virtual currency you spend only on the data you need.
- One email costs 1 credit
- One channel summary costs 0.1 credits
That means you can download 10 summaries for the price of a single email, perfect if you only need performance metrics without contact details.
Choosing the Best Plan for Downloads
The more credits you buy at once, the lower your cost per download:
| Plan | Monthly credits | Discount | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | None | — | Testing exports or one-off lists |
| Starter | 50 | 5% | Small campaigns, affiliate programs |
| Power | 250 | 20% | Agencies, SaaS teams, and bulk data users |
💡 Pro tip: If you’re exporting multiple lists over time (for ongoing outreach campaigns), it pays to buy credits in bulk on the right plan to maximise your savings.
Where You Can Export Data
You can download creator data from two places:
- Saved Lists – export channels you’ve already reviewed and saved for outreach.
- Search Results – export directly after running a search, no extra steps needed.
In both cases, you’ll see the exact credit cost before downloading. If you already have credits, they’ll be used automatically. If not, ChannelCrawler will calculate what you need and let you top up instantly.
Which credits are right for your use case
Influencer & affiliate marketers
- Typically need emails for direct one-to-one outreach
- Recommended: Start with a plan, top up when needed
Outbound agencies & service sellers
- Usually contact creators at scale
- Recommended: Buy bulk credits for lower cost and long-term use
Machine-learning & programmatic ad teams
- Only need channel summaries, not emails
- Recommended: 0.1-credit summaries for efficient enrichment and targeting
Takeaway: Credits fit any workflow — from human outreach to API-driven datasets.
Flexibility with or without Emails
Not every channel has a public email but you’ll still get value. Even if no email is available, you can:
- Download the channel summary
- Access performance data and social handles
- Keep your outreach lists complete and consistent
Step-by-step: Using credits efficiently
- Find the right creators Use 40+ filters to refine by category, country, and audience.
- Select what you need Choose between “Email contact” or “Channel summary only”.
- Purchase and download Use your credits, download your CSV, and keep the data forever.
Takeaway: From discovery to export, you control how deep to go, and what you pay for.
Most influencer databases charge subscription fees or lock data behind bundles. ChannelCrawler’s credit system removes that friction:
- No contracts, no minimums
- Download and keep the dataset to use it anytime you need.
- Pay only for what you use, from as few to as many as you need.
