Social Blade Scraper

Scrape Social Blade's creator leaderboard pages for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, Twitter, and more. Extracts rank, username, subscriber/follower counts, video views, and 30-day subscriber growth for the top creators on each platform.

What it does

Social Blade publishes ranked lists of the top creators by subscriber count for every major social platform. This actor fetches those leaderboard pages, waits for the JavaScript-rendered table to populate, and extracts structured data for each creator row.

• Supports 8 platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Twitch, Dailymotion, Trovo, Kick
• Offset-based pagination — each page returns 100 creators; request up to 1,000 total
• Clears Cloudflare's JS challenge via a real Chromium browser with residential proxy

topCount	integer	No	Number of top creators to retrieve (1–1000, default 100)

Notes

• Social Blade's leaderboard pages are JavaScript-rendered and protected by Cloudflare. This actor uses a real Chromium browser with residential proxy to reliably load the data.
• Subscriber counts and view counts are returned as formatted strings (e.g. "497M", "128.15B") matching what Social Blade displays — not raw integers.
• The monthly_subs_change field shows the net change in subscribers over the last 30 days.
• Not all platforms expose the same statistics; unavailable fields will be empty strings.
