# YouTube API skill Read public YouTube data as clean JSON. This YouTube API skill covers the full read surface: transcripts, captions and subtitles; video and channel statistics; comment threads, top comments and replies; Shorts listings, search and trending; channel videos, live streams and playlists; search with recency and suggestion variants; and direct media URLs for audio and video files. Transcripts are the headline use. One call turns a video into text an agent can actually reason over, and at 3 credits it is the cheapest transcript in this repo — a fraction of the Instagram or Facebook equivalents. This skill wraps **26 live YouTube endpoints** from the [ScraperSocial](https://scrapersocial.com) API. Public data only, returned as clean JSON. ## When to use this skill - A user pastes a YouTube URL and asks what the video says, or wants it summarised from the transcript. - You are researching a channel: subscriber counts, upload cadence, which videos performed. - You need comments on a video for sentiment or for surfacing recurring questions. - You are tracking what is trending, or searching videos, Shorts or hashtags. - You need a playlist's contents or a channel's live streams. ### Do not use this skill when - **A YouTube link appears in passing** and the user has not asked about its contents. - **The user only wants the title they already pasted.** No call needed. - **You need your own channel's analytics.** Watch time, retention and revenue are account-scop
