# YouTube channel search

Search within one YouTube channel using YouTube's native channel search, not global search or local filtering of the channel's latest videos. Needs handle and query. Served by ScrapeCreators.

Search within one YouTube channel using YouTube's native channel search, not global search or local filtering of the channel's latest videos. Pass a handle with or without @ and a keyword query. Results can include videos, Shorts, live streams and playlists in separate collections. Keep the same handle and query when passing the previous response's continuationToken. Stop when continuationToken is null; passing the literal continuationToken=null returns an uncharged terminal response. Each successful page costs 1 credit, including pages with no matches; invalid requests and retrieval failures

## Published example

This is the provider tool’s published example. Replace example values with the user’s requested inputs, respecting the schema; do not execute an example merely to test a connection.


```json
{
  "tool_id": "scrapecreators/get-v1-youtube-channel-search",
  "input": {
    "handle": "NASA",
    "query": "artemis"
  }
}
```

## Execute and retrieve

Inspect again before execution, explain the price and obtain the required authority. Use MCP run_tool or POST /v1/run with this tool ID, valid input and an idempotency key. Save the returned run ID and follow the actual state. If Agentik answers that the tool is temporarily unavailable, do not retry it blindly; use discovery to propose an alternative.

A partial or uncertain result can still have consumed provider resources. Consult [billing](/docs/billing.md), [idempotency](/docs/idempotency.md) and [asynchronous results](/docs/async.md).
