@pipedream/youtube_data_api NPM

Overview

The YouTube Data API lets you incorporate functions normally executed on the YouTube website into your own website or application. You can perform operations like searching for videos, retrieving channel data, and managing playlists. When integrated with Pipedream's serverless platform, this API can be part of automations that react to events, synchronize YouTube data with other services, or generate custom reports.

Example Use Cases

Automated Video Reporting: Create a workflow that triggers weekly to fetch new videos from a specific YouTube channel using the YouTube Data API and compiles a report with views and engagement data. This report can then be sent to an email or a Slack channel.
Dynamic Playlist Management: Build an automation that monitors a Google Sheet for new rows containing video URLs, and using the YouTube Data API, adds those videos to a designated YouTube playlist. This is ideal for collaborative video collection or content curation projects.
Social Media Cross-Posting: Design a workflow that watches for new videos on your YouTube channel, then uses the YouTube Data API to get the video details and post them to Twitter, LinkedIn, or another social platform, broadening your content's reach.
