List YouTube Channel Videos

This skill provides a Python CLI tool to fetch all videos from a YouTube channel and export them as a CSV file.

When to Use This Skill

User asks to list all videos from a YouTube channel
User needs a CSV report of channel videos with metadata
User wants to analyze channel content, video durations, or titles
User needs to get video IDs for further processing (e.g., downloading)

Prerequisites

Python 3.7+
yt-dlp library (installed via requirements.txt in tool directory)

Tool Location

The tool is located at $AGENT_CWD/tools/list-yt-ch-video/list-yt-ch-video.py.

Usage

python $AGENT_CWD/tools/list-yt-ch-video/list-yt-ch-video.py <CHANNEL_ID> <OUTPUT_DIR>

Arguments

CHANNEL_ID: YouTube channel identifier. Can be:
- Handle starting with @ (e.g., @TsunomakiWatame)
- Channel ID starting with UC (e.g., UCqm3BQLlJfvkTsX_hvm0UmA)
- Custom handle without @ (e.g., TsunomakiWatame)
- Full YouTube channel/videos URL (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/@TsunomakiWatame/videos)
OUTPUT_DIR: Directory where CSV file will be saved. The tool creates the directory if it doesn't exist.

Output

A CSV file named <CHANNEL_ID>.csv (with invalid characters replaced by underscores) in the output directory.
Columns: video id, video name, video duration (seconds).

Examples

# Using channel handle
python tools/list-yt-ch-video/list-yt-ch-video.py "@TsunomakiWatame" ./output

# Using channel ID
python tools/list-yt-ch-video/list-yt-ch-video.py "UCqm3BQLlJfvkTsX_hvm0UmA" ./reports

# Using custom handle (no @)
python tools/list-yt-ch-video/list-yt-ch-video.py "TsunomakiWatame" ./data

Troubleshooting

No videos found: Ensure the channel identifier is correct and the channel has public videos.
Network errors: Check internet connectivity and YouTube access.
Permission errors: Ensure output directory is writable.
Missing yt-dlp: Install with pip install -r tools/list-yt-ch-video/requirements.txt.

Implementation Details
