What YouTube Data does

YouTube Data provides transcripts, metadata, search results, channel videos, and playlist contents from YouTube URLs or channel names. Use it when you need structured YouTube content for analysis without Google API quotas or OAuth.

YouTube Data is cataloged under Data on DirSkills. YouTube Data comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, clawdbot, hermes-agent, openclaw and youtube-search.

Documentation

README

YouTube Data

YouTube data access via TranscriptAPI.com — lightweight alternative to Google's YouTube Data API.

Setup

If $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY is not set, read references/auth-setup.md and follow the instructions there to get and store the key.

Required Headers

Every request needs two headers:

  • Authorization: Bearer $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY
  • User-Agent: your agent's name and version if known (e.g. HermesAgent/0.11.0, ClaudeCode/1.0). Version is optional — agent name alone is fine. Do not omit this header or send a bare default — Cloudflare will return a 403 (error code 1010) and block the request.

API Reference

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
