# YouTube

Use **YouTube** from your AI agent through [ClawLink](https://claw-link.dev) — 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:

```bash
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

```bash
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.

- Not connected yet, or access expired? Re-run `npx @useclawlink/cli connect youtube`.
- The action list above is a snapshot; `npx @useclawlink/cli actions youtube` is always current.
