Arcade's YouTube toolkit enables LLMs to search and retrieve YouTube video data using the SerpApi search backend.

Capabilities

Video discovery & lookup: Search YouTube by query and fetch detailed metadata for specific videos.

Secrets

SERP_API_KEY This is a SerpApi API key used to power YouTube search and video lookups. To obtain one, create an account at SerpApi, navigate to your dashboard, and copy the API key shown there. Free-tier accounts include a limited number of monthly searches; paid plans are required for higher volume. The key must be stored as a secret in Arcade and is passed with every request to the SerpApi YouTube endpoint.

For instructions on configuring secrets in Arcade, see the Arcade secrets guide. You can manage secrets via the Arcade dashboard.
