Youtube Channel Exclusion lists filter API

Find Youtube profiles by exclusion lists filter from 13.9M searchable profiles

Is there an API to use exclusion lists in Youtube discovery?

Yes. The Influencers.club Discovery API filters Youtube creator profiles by saved suppression — platform-scoped exclusion lists applied by ID. Create lists once, then reference them by ID in any search — with exclude_default_list and exclude_all_lists as one-flag shortcuts — and get back full profiles with follower counts, engagement rates and verified contact data.

Recipes

Exclusion lists filter is rarely the only filter

Three combinations that people actually send. Every filter below exists today.

Suppression that persists across searches

Build the do-not-contact list once, apply it everywhere.

filters: {
  "exclude_list": ["list_id"], "exclude_default_list": true,
  "engagement_percent": { "min": 2 } }

Team-wide clean pipelines

Everyone’s searches respect the same exclusions.

filters: {
  "exclude_list": ["list_id"], "exclude_default_list": true,
  "has_link_in_bio": true }

Always-fresh mid-tier prospecting

Default lists keep every query deduplicated.

filters: {
  "exclude_list": ["list_id"], "exclude_default_list": true,
  "number_of_followers": { "min": 10000, "max": 100000 } }

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which values does the filter accept?+

It’s a boolean. Set it to true and only matching creators are returned. Setting it to false, or leaving it out, has no effect — the flag only filters in one direction.

Where can I find my API key?+

Create a free account. You will find your API key through the API side menu.

How do I find Youtube creators using exclusion lists using your API?+

Simply sign up for free, copy your API key, then POST to the Discovery endpoint with filters.exclude_list set. You’ll get Youtube profiles ready to be ingested for your use case.

What are your pricing plans and what do they include?+

Paid plans start at $249/month and use a flexible credit-based model.

Each API call consumes a specific number of credits depending on the endpoint and data depth. You can compare all tiers, credit amounts, and per-endpoint costs in the Pricing section of our API docs.
