  3. Get the rows

    social.search returns each video with its link, channel, date, views, likes and comment count.

  4. Go deeper

    Ask for the comments under the top videos, or the channel's other uploads.

In practice

What do you ask it?

You describe the job; the agent picks the calls, shows the price and runs them.

Search YouTube for 'crm tutorial' and list the channels behind the results with their view counts.

Find the five most viewed videos for 'hubspot vs salesforce' and read the comments under them.

For each channel in the 'crm tutorial' results, pull its latest uploads.

Worth knowing

What should you know first?

Relevance, not date

Results follow the search order, so older videos with many views can come first; this run returned videos from 2022 up.

Text is the description

The text field holds the video description. There is no separate title field; the description usually names the topic.

No quota to manage

There is no YouTube Data API key or daily unit budget; each call is billed per video returned.
