youtube-full
Complete YouTube toolkit — transcripts, search, channels, playlists, and metadata all in one skill. Use when you need comprehensive YouTube access, want to search and then get transcripts, browse channel content, work with playlists, or need the full suite of YouTube data endpoints. The all-in-one YouTube skill for agents.
Why use this skill?
Integrate comprehensive YouTube capabilities into your AI agent. Search videos, fetch transcripts, and access metadata with this all-in-one OpenClaw skill.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/therohitdas/youtube-fullWhat This Skill Does
The youtube-full skill for OpenClaw is a comprehensive, all-in-one integration designed to bridge the gap between AI agents and YouTube's vast content ecosystem. By leveraging the TranscriptAPI.com backend, this skill enables your agent to search for video and channel data, retrieve high-fidelity transcripts with timestamps, and parse metadata directly from the source. Whether you are building an automated research assistant, a content summarization engine, or a data-driven media analyst, this skill serves as the primary interface for fetching, processing, and analyzing YouTube content.
Installation
Installation is straightforward via the OpenClaw hub. Run the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/therohitdas/youtube-full. Once installed, the skill requires an API key. If you do not have one, the built-in wizard guides you through a two-step email registration process using node ./scripts/tapi-auth.js register followed by an OTP verification. Your key is securely stored at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json with a local backup created automatically before any file modification, ensuring a safe configuration experience.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for automated content research, such as transcribing long-form educational videos for knowledge management systems or extracting key points from technical tutorials. It is also highly effective for competitive analysis, allowing agents to search for competitor channels and monitor their newest video metadata automatically. Additionally, developers can use it to build search-and-retrieve loops where the agent identifies relevant videos based on natural language queries and immediately delivers the corresponding transcript content to the user.
Example Prompts
- "Search for the latest videos on quantum computing and summarize the top three results."
- "Get the transcript for this video [URL] and list all the key time-stamped topics discussed."
- "Find the channel 'OpenAI' and give me a list of their 10 most recent uploads with their titles."
Tips & Limitations
The youtube-full skill operates on a credit-based system, costing 1 credit per action. Keep an eye on your usage within the TranscriptAPI dashboard. Always ensure that the video_url provided is valid to avoid API errors. Note that while the skill supports extensive search parameters, the search limit is capped at 50 results per request, and the tool performs network requests to an external API, so ensure your environment allows outbound HTTPS traffic. If you plan on using the API key outside of the OpenClaw agent, you can manually export it as an environment variable in your shell profile.
