Dataify Youtube Profiles

Use for Dataify YouTube profile collection Builder tasks. Trigger when the user asks for the YouTube profile collection tool, YouTube profiles collection, YouTube channel profile collection, YouTube profile scraping, YouTube profiles by URL, YouTube profiles by keyword, or a choice between youtube_profiles_by-url and youtube_profiles_by-keyword. Also trigger for Chinese wording such as "YouTube个人资料采集", "YouTube个人资料抓取", "YouTube频道资料采集", "YouTube频道资料抓取", "YouTube个人主页采集", "YouTube个人主页抓取", "通过URL采集YouTube个人资料", "通过URL抓取YouTube个人资料", "通过关键词采集YouTube个人资料", "通过关键词抓取YouTube个人资料", or similar YouTube profile noun plus collection/scraping action wording. Supports returning the task_id and status; configuring or reusing the DATAIFY_API_TOKEN environment variable; and troubleshooting Dataify Builder request failures.

Submit YouTube profile collection jobs through Dataify Builder, then stop. This skill is a guided wrapper for two collection modes:

Mode	Collector ID	Use For
URL	youtube_profiles_by-url	Collecting one or more specific YouTube channel profile URLs.
Keyword	youtube_profiles_by-keyword	Searching YouTube channel profiles by keyword and page count.

After a successful submission, give the user the task_id, the returned or inferred status, and tell them to visit https://dataify.com/dashboard/ to view results.

API TOKEN Handling

Use DATAIFY_API_TOKEN as the long-term saved token name.

• If the user provides a token in the request, use it for this run.
• If no token is provided, first check whether DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is already saved locally in the environment.
• If DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is saved locally, use it.
• If no token is available locally, tell the user to get an API TOKEN from Dataify.
• Do not call the Builder endpoint without a token.
• Always call it API TOKEN in user-facing instructions. Prefer the environment variable name DATAIFY_API_TOKEN for saved local use.

PowerShell examples for saving the token for the current session:

$env:DATAIFY_API_TOKEN = "YOUR_DATAIFY_API_TOKEN"

For a persistent user-level variable on Windows:

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("DATAIFY_API_TOKEN", "YOUR_DATAIFY_API_TOKEN", "User")

Core Workflow

1. First ask the user to choose a collection mode: URL or Keyword. Show the Mode Selection table.
2. After the user chooses a mode, show only that mode's parameter table and defaults.
3. Ask whether the user wants to change any value before running the task.
4. Ask whether the user wants to collect multiple YouTube profile groups for the selected mode.
5. Normalize the final values into a list of parameter objects for the selected mode only.
6. Resolve the Dataify token from explicit input or saved DATAIFY_API_TOKEN.
7. If no token is available, tell the user to get an API TOKEN from Dataify.
8. Validate the selected mode, parameters, and file name.
9. Submit the Builder request with the selected mode's spider_id.
10. Read data.task_id from the Builder response and read data.status or status when present.
11. Stop after Builder succeeds.
12. Tell the user to visit https://dataify.com/dashboard/ to view or manage results.

Mode Selection

When the user invokes this skill, first show this Markdown table and ask them to choose one mode:

Label	Value
Collect profiles by URL	url
Collect profiles by keyword	keyword

Ask: "Which collection mode do you want to use: url or keyword?"

Do not submit a Builder request until the mode is clear.

URL Mode Parameters

Use this section only when the user chooses url.

Field	Required	Default	Notes
url	Yes	https://www.youtube.com/@mrbeast	YouTube channel URL. The URL must use the https://www.youtube.com domain.
file_name	No	{{TasksID}}	Builder form field. Use the default when the user does not change it.

Then ask: "Do you want to change any of these values before I submit the task?"

Also ask: "Do you want to collect multiple YouTube profile URL groups? If yes, provide multiple url values."

URL mode handling:

• url is required. If the user does not provide it, use the default https://www.youtube.com/@mrbeast only after showing it in the parameter confirmation table.
• Accept only URLs whose scheme and host are exactly https://www.youtube.com. Reject any other scheme, host, or subdomain as non-compliant.
• Submit spider_id=youtube_profiles_by-url.
• Submit spider_parameters as a JSON string containing one or more objects like:

[{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/@mrbeast"}]

Keyword Mode Parameters

Use this section only when the user chooses keyword.

Field	Required	Default	Notes
keyword	Yes	MrBeast	Keyword used to search YouTube channels or profiles.
page_turning	Yes	1	Integer greater than or equal to 0. Specifies how many search result pages to collect.
file_name	No	{{TasksID}}	Builder form field. Use the default when the user does not change it.

Then ask: "Do you want to change any of these values before I submit the task?"

Also ask: "Do you want to collect multiple YouTube profile keyword groups? If yes, provide multiple groups of keyword and page_turning."

Keyword mode handling:

• keyword is required. If the user does not provide it, use the default MrBeast only after showing it in the parameter confirmation table.
• Trim leading and trailing whitespace from keyword.
• keyword cannot be empty.
• page_turning is required. Default: 1. It must be an integer greater than or equal to 0.
• Submit numeric values as strings to match the Builder examples, for example "page_turning":"1".
• Submit spider_id=youtube_profiles_by-keyword.
• Submit spider_parameters as a JSON string containing one or more objects like:

[{"keyword":"MrBeast","page_turning":"1"}]

Shared File Name Handling

• file_name defaults to {{TasksID}}.
• If the user changes file_name, submit the user-provided value.
• file_name cannot be empty.
• Send file_name as a Builder form field.

Dataify Builder Request

Use form fields rather than hand-built URL-encoded strings.

• URL: https://scraperapi.dataify.com/builder?platform=1
• Method: POST
• Authorization header: Bearer DATAIFY_API_TOKEN
• Content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
• Fixed fields:
  • spider_name=youtube.com
  • spider_errors=true
• Mode-specific field:
  • URL mode: spider_id=youtube_profiles_by-url
  • Keyword mode: spider_id=youtube_profiles_by-keyword
• Default field:
  • file_name={{TasksID}}
• Dynamic field:
  • spider_parameters must be a JSON string, not a raw object.

Script

For stable execution, prefer scripts/submit_dataify_youtube_profiles.py with Python 3.6 or newer instead of rewriting the Builder flow.

URL mode:

python3 ".\scripts\submit_dataify_youtube_profiles.py" --mode url --url "https://www.youtube.com/@mrbeast"

Keyword mode:

python3 ".\scripts\submit_dataify_youtube_profiles.py" --mode keyword --keyword "MrBeast" --page-turning 1

If python3 is not available, use the local Python 3 command for that machine, such as python. The script checks the runtime version and tells the user to use Python 3.6 or newer if the active interpreter is too old.

To override the saved environment token or file name:

python3 ".\scripts\submit_dataify_youtube_profiles.py" --api-token "YOUR_DATAIFY_API_TOKEN" --mode url --url "https://www.youtube.com/@mrbeast" --file-name "{{TasksID}}"

To submit multiple URL groups:

python3 ".\scripts\submit_dataify_youtube_profiles.py" --mode url --params-json '[{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/@mrbeast"},{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/@YouTube"}]'

To submit multiple keyword groups:

python3 ".\scripts\submit_dataify_youtube_profiles.py" --mode keyword --params-json '[{"keyword":"MrBeast","page_turning":"1"},{"keyword":"cooking","page_turning":"2"}]'

The script prints a JSON summary with mode, spider_id, task_id, status, parameters, file_name, dashboard_url, and message.

Troubleshooting

Missing Dataify API TOKEN means no explicit token was passed and DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is not saved locally. Tell the user to get an API TOKEN from Dataify.

Unsupported mode means the mode must be url or keyword.

URL must use https://www.youtube.com means the URL is non-compliant. Ask the user for a URL that starts with https://www.youtube.com, such as https://www.youtube.com/@mrbeast.

keyword cannot be empty means the keyword is missing.

page_turning must be an integer greater than or equal to 0 means the requested page count is invalid.

File name cannot be empty means no usable file_name was provided.

Necessary parameters is empty! usually means the Builder request was not submitted as form fields, spider_parameters was not a JSON string, or the selected mode's object is missing required fields.

Missing task_id usually means the authorization header, token, spider_name, or selected spider_id is wrong.

Guardrails

• Do not mix URL mode and Keyword mode parameters in the same Builder request.
• Do not send keyword or page_turning in URL mode.
• Do not send url in Keyword mode.
• Do not invent result fields.
• Always direct the user to https://dataify.com/dashboard/ after successful task creation.
