Resolving Invalid YouTube Input Error in Clay API Integration

Ori M. · 2025-05-19T19:21:28.848Z

Hi Clay Support, I’m working on enriching YouTube influencer profiles by adding the profile URL via various API integrations. However, when I attempt to run this process, I receive an “invalid YouTube input” error—even though I’m using what appears to be the correct profile URL format. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue or let me know if there’s a specific format or method required for YouTube profile URLs in Clay? Thank you!

To resolve the "invalid YouTube input" error when enriching influencer profiles, make sure you're using the correct format for YouTube profile URLs. The error likely occurs because the Profile URL field hasn't been properly mapped. For YouTube channels, use the full channel URL format: https://www.youtube.com/channel/CHANNEL_ID or https://www.youtube.com/c/CHANNEL_NAME If you're still encountering issues after verifying the URL format, double-check that you've correctly mapped the Profile URL field in your Clay table before running the enrichment process. If you need further assistance, please request human support by clicking on "Talk to a person" in this chat.

Hey—can you share the table URL so we can take a closer look? Also, double-check the column settings to make sure the correct field is mapped. This error usually happens when the wrong input is selected—make sure it’s specifically mapped to a YouTube URL field. If it still looks off, let us know what it says in the input prompt.
