What This Skill Does

The CreatorDB YouTube v3 skill acts as a powerful interface for OpenClaw to interact with the expansive CreatorDB API. It allows the agent to perform granular searches for YouTube creators, filter results by specific criteria such as subscriber counts or growth trends, and retrieve comprehensive profile intelligence. This includes detailed data points like channel bio, verified status, geographic origin, language breakdown, and monetization estimates. By utilizing this skill, OpenClaw can transform raw YouTube data into actionable insights for marketing research, creator scouting, or competitive analysis without ever leaving the conversation interface.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have your CreatorDB API key ready. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/poi5305/creatordb-youtube-v3

After installation, ensure that the environment variable CREATORDB_API_KEY is properly configured in your system settings to authorize the agent's requests.

Use Cases

This skill is indispensable for professionals working in influencer marketing, content strategy, or brand partnerships. Use it to build lists of potential collaborators based on niche topics, analyze the growth trajectory of specific channels before committing to sponsorships, or audit the audience demographics and language distribution of creators. It is also highly effective for competitive analysis, allowing you to compare price estimates and engagement metrics across multiple channels in a single workflow.

Example Prompts

1. "Search for the top 5 gaming channels in Taiwan that have a high subscriber growth rate and summarize their recent engagement stats."
2. "Look up the channel profile for @MrBeast and tell me what his estimated video pricing is and what his main content categories are."
3. "Find channels similar to the official YouTube account that focus on gaming content and display their subscriber counts."

Tips & Limitations

When performing searches, the skill supports fuzzy matching, which is useful when you are unsure of the exact channel name. However, keep in mind that the API usage is tracked through a quota system. Excessive requests may exhaust your allotment, so prioritize specific filters to refine your results early. Note that 'price estimates' are models generated by CreatorDB and should be used as guidance for negotiation rather than definitive market pricing. Always check the 'success' field in the returned JSON to ensure the agent has received valid data before processing further tasks.
