Scrape YouTube Channel Data to Notion
Scrape any YouTube channel to extract subscriber count, video catalog, and channel details. AI analyzes content themes and identifies notable videos, then saves a structured profile to your Notion database.
How It Works
Connect your Notion workspace to Harvist. We'll create a channel database with columns for subscriber count, themes, and more.
Copy the URL of any YouTube channel you want to scrape (e.g. youtube.com/@channelname).
Click 'Run' and Harvist will scrape channel data, fetch recent videos, and run AI analysis on content themes.
Your channel profile with AI-generated summary, content themes, notable videos, and embedded video players is now in Notion.
What You Get in Notion
Harvist creates a Notion database with these columns, automatically populated with AI-extracted data:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Channel Name | title | YouTube channel name |
| Handle | text | YouTube channel handle (e.g. @Apify) |
| Subscribers | number | Number of subscribers |
| Total Videos | number | Total number of published videos |
| Total Views | number | Total channel view count |
| Joined | date | Channel creation date |
| Location | text | Channel location |
| Verified | select | Channel verification status |
| Topics | multi-select | AI-identified content topics and themes |
| Channel URL | url | YouTube channel URL |
| Extracted At | date | Timestamp of extraction |
Upsert key: Channel URL — if an entry with the same channel url exists, it will be updated instead of duplicated.
