AIsa YouTube SERP Scout

Search YouTube videos, channels, and trends through the AIsa relay for content research, competitor tracking, and trend discovery.

When to use

• The user wants YouTube content research, channel discovery, or trend monitoring.
• The workflow benefits from a bundled Python client for repeated searches.
• The task can use AISA_API_KEY instead of direct Google API credentials.

When NOT to use

• The user needs browser automation, local scraping, or account-level YouTube actions.
• The workflow must avoid sending search requests to api.aisa.one.
• The request depends on files outside this package.

Quick Reference

• Endpoint: https://api.aisa.one/apis/v1/youtube/search
• Python client: scripts/youtube_client.py
