  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise.

YouTube

Access the YouTube Data API v3 with managed OAuth authentication. Search videos, manage playlists, access channel information, and interact with comments and subscriptions.

Quick Start

# Search for videos python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=coding+tutorial&type=video&maxResults=10') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/{native-api-path} Replace {native-api-path} with the actual YouTube Data API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to www.googleapis.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY: export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

Sign in or create an account at maton.ai Go to maton.ai/settings Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Google OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=youtube&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'youtube'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF Response: { "connection": { "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "youtube", "metadata": {} } } Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple YouTube connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header: python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet&mine=true') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

JavaScript

const headers = { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` }; // Search videos const results = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=tutorial&type=video&maxResults=10', { headers } ).then(r => r.json()); // Get video details const video = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet,statistics&id=dQw4w9WgXcQ', { headers } ).then(r => r.json()); // Create playlist await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/playlists?part=snippet,status', { method: 'POST', headers: { ...headers, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ snippet: { title: 'My Playlist', description: 'Videos I like' }, status: { privacyStatus: 'private' } }) } );

Python

import os import requests headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'} # Search videos results = requests.get( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/search', headers=headers, params={'part': 'snippet', 'q': 'tutorial', 'type': 'video', 'maxResults': 10} ).json() # Get video details video = requests.get( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/videos', headers=headers, params={'part': 'snippet,statistics', 'id': 'dQw4w9WgXcQ'} ).json() # Create playlist response = requests.post( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/playlists?part=snippet,status', headers=headers, json={ 'snippet': {'title': 'My Playlist', 'description': 'Videos I like'}, 'status': {'privacyStatus': 'private'} } )

Notes

Video IDs are 11 characters (e.g., dQw4w9WgXcQ) Channel IDs start with UC (e.g., UCxyz123) Playlist IDs start with PL (user) or UU (uploads) Use pageToken for pagination through large result sets The part parameter is required and determines what data is returned Quota costs vary by endpoint - search is expensive (100 units), reads are cheap (1 unit) Some write operations require channel verification IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets (fields[], sort[], records[]) to disable glob parsing IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

Error Handling

StatusMeaning400Missing YouTube connection or invalid request401Invalid or missing Maton API key403Forbidden - quota exceeded or insufficient permissions404Video, channel, or playlist not found429Rate limited (10 req/sec per account)4xx/5xxPassthrough error from YouTube API

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set: echo $MATON_API_KEY Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

Ensure your URL path starts with youtube. For example: Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/youtube/youtube/v3/search Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/v3/search
