YouTube Data API integration with managed OAuth. An agent skill from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot.

  • Works in 3 steps: Sign in or create an account at maton.ai → Go to maton.ai/settings → Copy your API key
  • Users want to interact with YouTube
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Base URL, Authentication and Connection Management, plus 5 more sections
  • Calls python and curl; reaches gateway.maton.ai and ctrl.maton.ai; needs MATON_API_KEY

What it does

Youtube is an agent skill from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot. YouTube Data API integration with managed OAuth. Search videos, manage playlists, access channel data, and interact with comments. Use this skill when users want to interact with YouTube. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `.clawhub/origin.json` and `_meta.json`). Compatibility notes: Requires network access and valid Maton API key

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Microservices, OAuth and OpenID Connect and Third-party API integration. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: One agent. Every kind of work. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Users want to interact with YouTube
  • Tasks that involve Microservices
  • Tasks that involve OAuth and OpenID Connect

Example prompts

  • “/youtube”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in MATON_API_KEY
  • A credential in YOUR_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires network access and valid Maton API key

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
  2. Go to maton.ai/settings
  3. Copy your API key

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b50970c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • gateway.maton.ai
    • ctrl.maton.ai
    • connect.maton.ai
    • i.ytimg.com

    Also links to:

    • developers.google.com
    • maton.ai
    • discord.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • MATON_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires network access and valid Maton API key

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Youtube loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 553 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

YouTube

Access the YouTube Data API v3 with managed OAuth authentication. Search videos, manage playlists, access channel information, and interact with comments and subscriptions.

Quick Start

bash
# Search for videos
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=coding+tutorial&type=video&maxResults=10')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/{native-api-path}

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual YouTube Data API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to www.googleapis.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

bash
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
Getting Your API Key
  1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
  2. Go to maton.ai/settings
  3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Google OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections
bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=youtube&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Create Connection
bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'youtube'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Get Connection
bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

json
{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "youtube",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection
bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Specifying Connection

If you have multiple YouTube connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet&mine=true')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Notes

  • Video IDs are 11 characters (e.g., dQw4w9WgXcQ)
  • Channel IDs start with UC (e.g., UCxyz123)
  • Playlist IDs start with PL (user) or UU (uploads)
  • Use pageToken for pagination through large result sets
  • The part parameter is required and determines what data is returned
  • Quota costs vary by endpoint - search is expensive (100 units), reads are cheap (1 unit)
  • Some write operations require channel verification
  • IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets (fields[], sort[], records[]) to disable glob parsing
  • IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

Error Handling

StatusMeaning
400Missing YouTube connection or invalid request
401Invalid or missing Maton API key
403Forbidden - quota exceeded or insufficient permissions
404Video, channel, or playlist not found
429Rate limited (10 req/sec per account)
4xx/5xxPassthrough error from YouTube API
Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
  1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:
bash
echo $MATON_API_KEY
  1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name
  1. Ensure your URL path starts with youtube. For example:
  • Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/search
  • Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/v3/search

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/youtube, .gemini/skills/youtube, .github/skills/youtube and .opencode/skills/youtube in your project.

What does Youtube need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Youtube needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python and curl) and credentials named MATON_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in MATON_API_KEY; A credential in YOUR_API_KEY. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires network access and valid Maton API key.

Does Youtube access the network?

SKILL.md names 7 domains. In commands or code: gateway.maton.ai, ctrl.maton.ai, connect.maton.ai and i.ytimg.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: developers.google.com, maton.ai and discord.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Youtube safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Youtube use?

Youtube is published under the MIT licence (from the LICENSE file in the skill folder). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Youtube use?

About 3.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 15k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Youtube?
