YouTube

Use YouTube from your AI agent through ClawLink — browser login, no API key to paste, no config to edit. Connect YouTube once and the agent can read and act on it. Works in any agent that can run shell commands (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, and more).

Setup

Run these once — the agent can run them for you:

npx @useclawlink/cli login              # opens browser → approve (mints + stores a key)
npx @useclawlink/cli connect youtube   # opens browser → authorize YouTube

No API key to create or paste — login stores the credential at ~/.clawlink/credentials.json.

Using YouTube

npx @useclawlink/cli actions youtube "<what you want to do>"   # find an action
npx @useclawlink/cli describe youtube <action-id>             # see its inputs (before writes)
npx @useclawlink/cli run youtube <action-id> --input '<json>' # execute

Reads first; confirm with the user before any write.
