OpenClaw YouTube SERP Scout#

Runtime-focused release bundle for YouTube search, competitor tracking, and trend discovery through the AISA relay.

When to use#

• The user wants YouTube content research, channel discovery, or trend monitoring.
• The workflow benefits from the bundled Python client for repeated searches.
• The task can use AISA_API_KEY instead of direct Google API credentials.

When NOT to use#

• The user needs browser automation, local scraping, or account-level YouTube actions.
• The workflow must avoid sending search requests to api.aisa.one.
• The request depends on files outside this release bundle.

Setup#

Required:

• Environment variable:
  • AISA_API_KEY (required)
• Binaries:
  • python3 (required)

bash

export AISA_API_KEY="your-key"

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/youtube_client.py search --query "machine learning" --country us
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/youtube_client.py competitor --name "OpenAI" --topic "GPT tutorial"

Capabilities#

ClawHub Suspicious Review Notes#

These points summarize the common reasons similar skills are marked Suspicious and how this release addresses them:

• The package is relay-based: all search requests go to api.aisa.one.
• The package is API-key-first: it requires AISA_API_KEY and does not ask for passwords, cookies, browser data, or other legacy secrets.
• The frontmatter declares required bins/env under metadata.openclaw, matching the runtime files kept in this release bundle.
• The release bundle is runtime-only: it keeps SKILL.md and scripts/youtube_client.py, while omitting non-runtime files such as README.md and _meta.json.
• The package does not include browser automation, cache sync, home-directory persistence, cookie extraction, or external agent CLI wrappers.

Release Bundle Notes#

• scripts/youtube_client.py is preserved from the original bundle.
• Search behavior and command surface are unchanged from the original runtime.
• The only changes are packaging trim and clearer publication metadata.
