FAQ

Do I need a YouTube API key?

No. The actor reads the same public pages a logged-out browser sees.

Does it use AI?

No. Detection is deterministic rules, so results are repeatable and cheap.

Can I get only new sponsorships every week?

Yes. Turn on onlyNew; delivered video + brand pairs are remembered in a named key-value store and not charged again.

Does it find the creator's email?

No. It returns the channel URL and handle; contact details are out of scope.

Do I need a proxy?

No for normal runs. If YouTube rate-limits the IP, the run switches to Apify residential proxy by itself (turn autoProxyFallback off to prevent this).

Where do I run it?

On Apify: https://apify.com/transparent_meteorite/youtube-sponsorship-tracker. Check the Pricing tab there for current prices.
