What problem does it solve?

This skill removes the need for API keys and manual link-by-link discovery by scraping YouTube search results and returning structured video metadata for fast research, curation, and trend analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • No API keys required: Uses yt-dlp to collect public YouTube metadata without OAuth or developer keys.
  • Structured metadata output: Produces title, URL, channel, view count, duration, upload date, and truncated descriptions for each result.
  • Client-side sorting and filtering: Enables sorting by views or date and filtering by duration or recency for curation workflows.
  • Use Case: Assemble a ranked list of top videos on a topic, let a user review selections, and pass chosen URLs to downstream analysis tools.
