The YouTube integration lets your agents search videos, pull transcripts, scrape comments, extract metadata, and gather contact info from channels — all without you having to manage a YouTube Data API key. Auth type: Built-in (no external auth required)
For how integrations work overall (permissions, authentication, troubleshooting), see the main guide: App Integrations.

​
Common capabilities

  • Search — keyword search across YouTube
  • Video metadata — title, channel, duration, views, upload date
  • Transcripts — pull captions for any video that has them
  • Comments — search and extract comments at scale
  • Channel emails — find contact emails listed on a channel’s about page
  • Trainability check — see whether a video allows AI training (license-aware workflows)
  • Reader / downloader — turn a YouTube video into structured text or download the video

​
Use in Chat

  1. In a chat, open the tool selector and enable YouTube
  2. Ask your agent to research a topic
Example prompt: 
Search YouTube for "AI agents demos" uploaded in the last 30 days with at least 10k views. For the top 10, pull the transcript and summarize the key takeaways into a single doc. Add the channel emails so I can reach out about partnerships.

​
Use in Agents

In Agents → Settings, attach YouTube to a content research, competitive intel, or partnerships agent. Pair with Reddit, Twitter, and the Meta Ads Library scraper for full social-listening coverage.

​
Use in Flows

Add YouTube nodes to automate weekly research: search → fetch transcripts → summarize → drop into Notion or Sheets.

​
Troubleshooting

  • No transcript available: not every video has captions — the tool will tell you. Some channels disable transcripts entirely
  • Comments empty: comments may be disabled on the video, or YouTube may rate-limit large requests — try smaller batches
  • Channel emails empty: only channels that publicly list a contact email on their about page expose one

​
