# YouTube API Automated Extraction Skill

Pull the numbers behind any YouTube search, without watching a thing

## What this does

You want to know how videos on a certain subject are doing on YouTube, but clicking through them one by one takes forever. Search by keyword and get the details back as data instead: views, likes, comments, length, and who published them. Useful when you are watching competitors, checking a campaign, or following a topic over time.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Track how a competitor's latest uploads are performing
- Pull view, like and comment counts for a topic
- Collect video data for a keyword you care about

## About YouTube API Automated Extraction Skill

Give it a keyword and it goes to YouTube for you, coming back with detailed metrics on the videos it finds along with information about the channels behind them.

It fits the moments when the interesting thing is the numbers rather than the video: what a competitor channel published recently and how it did, how many views and subscribers sit behind a particular video, how long videos in an industry run and how much engagement they get.

Because the same search can be run again, it also suits ongoing work - tracking a tech topic over time, watching a marketing campaign's videos, or keeping an eye on how particular creators are performing.
