YouTube

YouTube API for channels, videos, playlists, subscriptions, comments, captions, and upload metadata.

Covers channel and playlist management, comment threads, video metadata, and reactions to new comments or liked videos.

Example Use Cases

These are the YouTube actions Snow can use when building apps with you. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.
