Connects to YouTube Data API v3 and exposes search, video details, channel statistics, transcripts, comments, and trending video discovery. Built with token optimization as a first principle, stripping YouTube's bloated JSON payloads down by 64-87% compared to raw API responses. Includes optional MongoDB caching to protect your daily API quota when agents re-query the same data. Ships with transcript fetching in zero-config mode if you want to skip the API key setup. Designed for production use with 97% test coverage and strict type safety via Zod. Reach for this when you need your LLM to analyze YouTube content, research channels, or extract insights from comments without burning through context windows or quota limits.
