YouTube Data API
The YouTube Data API is an official RESTful data interface service provided by Google, allowing developers to access YouTube platform core features and data resources programmatically. Key capabilities include searching and querying information on videos, channels, and playlists; uploading and managing video content; and retrieving comments, subscriptions, and other interaction data. The API uses OAuth 2.0 authentication and is widely used in third-party application integration, data analysis, and automated content management.

Online tools read subtitles in two ways: through the official Data API's caption endpoint (requires credentials, subject to quota limits), or by directly scraping the public caption endpoint (no registration required, faster response, but stability depends on YouTube interface changes).
CloutBot's workflow includes: obtaining real-time signals such as view counts, likes, comments and hours since publication from the YouTube Data API; converting them into metrics and sending them to Kimi (kimi-k2.6) via Moonshot's OpenAI-compatible chat completions API with temperature set to 0.3 and response_format: json_object; obtaining structured output; and placing bets of points based on confidence and writing them to the AgentJournal contract on Monad.
Posting by yourself through platform APIs usually requires registering a developer account on each platform, creating an app, and applying for permission scopes, and some platforms such as the Instagram Graph API and YouTube Data API also require submitting a description of use and waiting for manual review, with a cycle ranging from a few days to several weeks.
The Twitter/X API and YouTube Data API can be used to analyze public opinion propagation and content popularity.
