For batch downloads, use `/v1/queries/batch` with a `query` array only; keep all other parameters singular.\n\n### Quick Start\n\n**Video metadata:**\n```bash\ncurl -X POST 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \\\n  -u \"$OXY_WSA_USERNAME:$OXY_WSA_PASSWORD\" \\\n  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\\n  -d '{\n    \"source\": \"youtube_metadata\",\n    \"query\": \"dQw4w9WgXcQ\",\n    \"parse\": true\n  }'\n```\n\n**YouTube search:**\n```bash\ncurl -X POST 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \\\n  -u \"$OXY_WSA_USERNAME:$OXY_WSA_PASSWORD\" \\\n  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\\n  -d '{\n    \"source\": \"youtube_search\",\n    \"query\": \"python tutorial\"\n  }'\n```\n\n**Channel data:**\n```bash\ncurl -X POST 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \\\n  -u \"$OXY_WSA_USERNAME:$OXY_WSA_PASSWORD\" \\\n  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\\n  -d '{\n    \"source\": \"youtube_channel\",\n    \"channel_handle\": \"@channelhandle\",\n    \"parse\": true,\n    \"limit\": 10\n  }'\n```\n\n---\n\n## High-Bandwidth Proxies (Video Downloads)\n\nFor actual video/audio file downloads using yt-dlp.\n\n### Setup\n\nContact Oxylabs sales team to get a dedicated high-bandwidth endpoint.\n\n**Default configuration:**\n- Port: `60000`\n- Endpoint: Provided after purchase\n\nUse `OXY_HB_ENDPOINT`; if absent, check `OXYLABS_HB_ENDPOINT`.\n\n### Connection Test\n\n```bash\ncurl -x \"http://USERNAME-test:PASSWORD@YOUR_ENDPOINT:60000\" \\\n  \"https://ip.oxylabs.io/location\"\n```\n\n### yt-dlp Integration\n\n**With session rotation (different IP per download):**\n```bash\nyt-dlp --proxy \"http://USERNAME-Random1Session2ID:PASSWORD@YOUR_ENDPOINT:60000\" \\\n  \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID\"\n```\n\nChange the session ID for each download to get a fresh IP.\n\n### Python with yt-dlp\n\n```python\nimport yt_dlp\nimport os\nimport uuid\n\nusername = os.environ[\"OXY_WSA_USERNAME\"]\npassword = os.environ[\"OXY_WSA_PASSWORD\"]\nendpoint = os.environ[\"OXY_HB_ENDPOINT\"]  # Your dedicated endpoint\n\n# Random session for unique IP\nsession_id = str(uuid.uuid4()).replace(\"-\", \"\")\n\nydl_opts = {\n    \"proxy\": f\"http://{username}-{session_id}:{password}@{endpoint}:60000\",\n    \"format\": \"best\",\n    \"outtmpl\": \"%(title)s.%(ext)s\"\n}\n\nwith yt_dlp.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:\n    ydl.download([\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID\"])\n```\n\n---\n\n## Choosing the Right Method\n\n| Need | Method |\n|------|--------|\n| Video metadata (title, views, likes) | Video Data API |\n| Search results | Video Data API |\n| Subtitles | Video Data API |\n| Channel information | Video Data API |\n| Download video files | High-Bandwidth Proxies + yt-dlp |\n| Download audio files | High-Bandwidth Proxies + yt-dlp |\n\nFor more examples, see [examples.md](examples.md).","author":"@oxylabs","ownerProfile":null,"authorContacts":null,"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/oxylabs/agent-skills/tree/main/skills/video-data","license":"MIT","category":"productivity","lang":"en","tokens":1470,"stars":0,"calls30d":2,"claimed":false,"visibility":"public","origin":"crawler","version":"0.1.0","createdAt":"2026-08-22","updatedAt":"2026-08-22","files":[{"path":"examples.md","size":5769,"sha256":"a3abed1e39931a67d20a80bb6cf7cf650a5674b7e9a393217dcb963da015b032"}],"requires":{"mcp":[],"tools":[]},"safety":{"flags":[],"scannedAt":"2026-08-22","hasScripts":false,"networkEndpoints":["data.oxylabs.io","ip.oxylabs.io","realtime.oxylabs.io","www.youtube.com"]}}
