    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get YouTube Channel Data Fetches a YouTube channel by its ID (`UC…`) or handle (`@name`) and returns structured data for any channel tab — `featured`/Home, `videos`, `shorts`, `streams`, `playlists`, `posts`, `podcasts`, `releases`, `store` (desktop only), `about`. Returns channel identity (title, description, avatar, banner), subscriber count, country, join date, total-view count and social links (on the `about` tab), and the items on the requested tab (videos with views and publish date, playlists, posts, podcasts, etc.). Use to monitor competitor channels, build creator/brand directories, track posting cadence and growth signals, or feed `videoId` into the YouTube Video / Transcript endpoints.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "hasdata_youtube_search_getYoutubeSearchResults" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get YouTube Search Results Searches YouTube for a query and returns the full results page split into `videoResults` (videoId, title, views, length, publish date, chapters, channel info, extensions like 4K/CC), `channelResults` (channelId, handle, subscribers, verified flag), `shortsResults` / `inlineShortsResults`, themed `shelves` (e.g. 'People also watched', 'Latest from <creator>'), `adsResults` and `sponsoredResults` (advertiser, landing URL, position), plus `searchInformation.totalResults`. Each block preserves its `positionOnPage` so the original layout is reconstructable. Use for competitor and topic monitoring, brand-mention tracking, ad-placement intelligence, creator discovery, trend research, or to feed `videoId` / `channelId` into the YouTube Video, Channel, or Transcript endpoints.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "hasdata_youtube_transcript_getYoutubeTranscript" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get YouTube Video Transcript Returns the timed transcript (subtitles) of a YouTube video by its 11-character `videoId`. `languageCode` selects the track (e.g. `en`, `de-DE`, `pt-BR`); `type=asr` requests the auto-generated speech-recognition track. Each segment in `transcript[]` carries `startMs`, `endMs`, `snippet`, and a formatted `startTimeText`. The response also includes `availableTranscripts[]` listing every track on the video (language name + code, `type: asr` for auto-generated, `selected: true` for the one returned) so callers can discover what else is available. Use to feed a video's spoken content into RAG/LLM pipelines, generate summaries or chapter outlines, build searchable archives, run translation or accessibility workflows, or analyze talking points across a creator's catalog (pair with the YouTube Channel endpoint to enumerate videos, then fetch transcripts).

    • The name "hasdata_youtube_video_getYoutubeVideo" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get YouTube Video Data Fetches a single YouTube video by its 11-character `videoId`. Returns title, thumbnail, raw + normalized views and likes, `lengthSeconds`, publish date, category, keywords/tags, `isFamilySafe` / `isUnlisted` flags, the uploading channel (id, link, subscribers, avatar), the full description with parsed links and hashtags, available `captions` tracks (with `kind: asr` for auto-generated), Content-ID `music` matches (song/artist/album), creator `socialLinks`, and the `relatedVideos`, `endScreenVideos`, and `relatedShorts` rails. Use to enrich a video URL with metadata, monitor view/like growth, extract music or sponsor/affiliate links, gather features for recommender or RAG pipelines, or detect caption tracks before calling the YouTube Transcript endpoint.
