# YouTube Data

> YouTube Data API for FlyMy.AI agents - search videos, playlists, channel metadata (read side). Posting lives in the YouTube tool.

Read-side YouTube for research: search videos, read playlists, channels and metadata across all of YouTube. Publishing to YOUR channel (upload, comments, channel analytics) lives in the separate [YouTube](https://docs.flymy.ai/mcp/youtube.md) tool.
