YouTube API

YouTube data on demand: video/channel/playlist search with real filters (upload date, duration, sort order), channel and video lookups, videos, shorts, live streams, playlist contents, comments, hashtag feeds, and trending — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid as you go. No developer console project, no OAuth consent screen, no daily quota.

Base URL: https://youtube.fetcher.sh

Authentication

Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the `fetcher` skill:

bash

# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
#    or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://youtube.fetcher.sh/api/search/video?query=hello"

# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
#    with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
#    Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.

Every response is { "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }; the HTTP status mirrors status.

Endpoints (15 — all GET, $0.005/call)

Endpoint	What it returns
`/api/search/video`	Videos matching a query; upload date, duration, sort filters
`/api/search/channel`	Channels matching a query
`/api/search/playlist`	Playlists matching a query
`/api/channel/{id}`	Channel details by ID
`/api/channel/handle/{handle}`	Channel details by @handle
`/api/channel/path`	Channel details by custom URL path
`/api/channel/{id}/videos`	A channel's videos
`/api/channel/{id}/shorts`	A channel's shorts
`/api/channel/{id}/live-streams`	A channel's live streams
`/api/video/{id}`	Video (or short) details
`/api/video/{id}/comments`	A video's comments
`/api/shorts/{id}`	Short details
`/api/playlist/{id}/videos`	A playlist's videos
`/api/hashtag/{tag}`	Videos under a hashtag
`/api/trending`	Trending videos, optionally by region

{id} / {handle} / {tag} are path parameters. Optional cursor / lang / geo refine results; query (search) and channelPath (path lookup) are required where they appear.

MCP

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "youtube": {
      "url": "https://youtube.fetcher.sh/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer bby_live_..." }

  }
}

Free: search_endpoints, describe_endpoint, check_balance. Paid: fetch_data (any endpoint above), topup_credits, plus the named shortcut youtube_search_video. Drop the headers block to pay per call with x402 instead — see the `fetcher` skill for the full flow.

Errors

400 — missing/invalid parameter (message names it)
401 — unknown or rotated key
402 — payment required (x402 challenge) or topup_required (credits

exhausted)

404 — not a priced path
No rate limits; no refunds on upstream failures (settlement precedes

delivery)
