# YouTube Video API Skill

## 📖 Introduction
This skill provides users with a one-stop YouTube video data extraction service using BrowserAct's YouTube Video API template. It can directly extract structured channel-level data plus video detail data from a specific YouTube channel through a single API request. Just input the YouTube channel URL and video type (Latest, Popular, or Earliest), and you can get clean, ready-to-use video metrics.

## ✨ Features
1. **No hallucinations, ensuring stable and accurate data extraction**: Pre-set workflows avoid generative AI hallucinations.
2. **No CAPTCHA issues**: No need to handle reCAPTCHA or other verification challenges.
3. **No IP access restrictions and geo-blocking**: No need to deal with regional IP restrictions.
4. **More agile execution speed**: Compared to pure AI-driven browser automation solutions, task execution is faster.
5. **Extremely high cost-effectiveness**: Significantly reduces data acquisition costs compared to AI solutions that consume a large number of Tokens.

## 🔑 API Key Guidance Flow
Before running, you must check the `BROWSERACT_API_KEY` environment variable. If it is not set, do not take any other actions first. You should request and wait for the user to provide it collaboratively.
**The Agent must inform the user at this time**:
