How this service works
YouTube (yt) data and scraping API: Search videos, channels, and playlists; fetch video details, comments, shorts, live streams, and trending. 15 REST endpoints from $0.005 per call — no account, no OAuth, no subscription. Pay with x402 (USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana) or prepaid credits.
Output
A list of YouTube video results matching the search query, including video titles, video IDs, channel names, thumbnails, view counts, and other video metadata — returned as JSON without requiring a YouTube API key or OAuth setup.
Example use cases

Curate content for a newsletter
“Search YouTube for the latest videos on 'climate change solutions' and pull back the top results so I can feature them in this week's newsletter.”
