When to use this.

The YouTube Video Search action, identified as texau-youtube-search, enables users to efficiently search for videos on YouTube based on a specified keyword query. By inputting a search term through the 'query' parameter, users can retrieve a wealth of metadata related to relevant videos. The output includes essential information such as video URLs, titles, channel names, channel URLs, view counts, durations in seconds, publish dates, thumbnail URLs, and video descriptions, all categorized under text, number, boolean, and URL semantic types. This action is particularly useful for content creators, marketers, and researchers looking to analyze trends, gather insights, or enhance video-related projects by leveraging YouTube's vast library of content. As part of the enrichment category, it serves as a powerful tool for data enrichment and analysis, facilitating informed decision-making and strategic planning.

FAQ.

  • Is this real-time?

    Yes. Synchronous actions return in ~1–4 s. Long-running work uses async polling (see status 504 → switch to async).

  • Do I get charged on failure?

    No. Verified failures cost zero credits. Provider miss / 5xx / timeout cascade to the next provider in the waterfall when applicable.

  • Does it work with Claude / Cursor via MCP?

    Yes. Add the texau MCP server to your client config, then call `texau__texau-...` directly.

  • What CRMs can I push results to?

    HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and GoHighLevel are bidirectional. Smartlead, Instantly, Lemlist, HeyReach, Apollo Sequences, and Reply.io for outbound.
