YouTube Data

The superagnt YouTube API wraps YouTube surface areas into a single integration. Instead of managing multiple keys, proxies, and rate limits yourself, you call superagnt with one credential and consume structured JSON optimized for downstream AI and analytics. Whether you are building a social listening agent, a content research pipeline, or a creator-intelligence product, this API gives you consistent access to video metadata, channel discovery, comments, subtitles, and recommendations with predictable billing and operational simplicity.

Alternative install: the scoped MCP server

If this client speaks MCP, you can connect the YouTube Data facet server instead of using this skill's curl calls — the same endpoints below as native MCP tools with structured parameters and OAuth sign-in, scoped to this capability:

https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp/youtube

That URL publishes full OAuth discovery: an MCP-capable client needs the URL and nothing else (approve once in the browser). On clients that hold a bearer instead, add it as an Authorization: Bearer header. Per-client setup lines: https://www.superagnt.com/install?facet=youtube

This skill document stays fully usable on curl-only environments — everything below works with just the API key.

Authentication

Get an API key from the superagnt app and export it as SUPERAGNT_API_KEY. Every request sends it as a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer $SUPERAGNT_API_KEY

If the variable is not set, ask the user for their key or point them at https://superagnt.com/r/ch-youtube-data-key.

Verify the install (do this first)

One call proves the key, the credit balance, and this source end to end:

curl -s https://api.superagnt.com/v1/credits \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $SUPERAGNT_API_KEY'

A JSON result means you are live. A 401 means the key is wrong or missing; a 402 means the workspace is out of credits — the superagnt app shows both.

Use Cases

• Social and creator intelligence agents using YouTube
• Marketing and research teams monitoring accounts and content
• Product teams building alerts, digests, and dashboards
• Developers prototyping LLM tools that need live network data
• Data teams joining YouTube signals with CRM or warehouse data

Scope

This skill covers YouTube Data only — the endpoints listed above, nothing else. The same API key also works with superagnt's other data sources and platform tools, but those are separate listings that the user installs or enables themselves; this skill does not add or enable anything beyond what is documented here. The public catalog is at https://api.superagnt.com/v1/platforms.

Disclosure: Contact data: this source includes channel email lookup endpoints that return creators' business contact emails. Treat results as personal contact data: use them only for the user's stated purpose, never for bulk unsolicited outreach.
