YouTube Data

YouTube data access via TranscriptOut.com: a lightweight alternative to Google's YouTube Data API.

Setup

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

Required Header

Every request carries these headers:

  • Authorization: Bearer $TRANSCRIPTOUT_API_KEY
  • X-Client: youtube-skills/youtube-data, so TranscriptOut knows the call came from this skill

Every response is one JSON envelope. Success: {"ok": true, "request_id": "...", "data": {...}}. Error: {"ok": false, "code": "...", "detail": "...", "request_id": "..."}. Branch on the machine-readable code, not on the human text. The remaining credit balance rides in the X-Credits-Remaining response header.
