AnyCrawl YouTube Video Extractor

Use this skill when the user gives a public YouTube watch URL and wants deep video metadata through AnyCrawl.

Workflow

  1. Accept a single public YouTube watch URL.
  2. Validate that it is one of the supported shapes:
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
    • https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID
  3. Run the bundled extractor:
node .claude/skills/anycrawl-youtube-video-extractor/scripts/run.js "<youtube-watch-url>"
  1. Read the JSON file path printed by the script.
  2. Summarize the important fields for the user:
    • title
    • channel metadata
    • publish and upload dates
    • duration
    • views and likes
    • description
    • transcript availability
    • endscreen recommendations
    • age restriction flag
    • screenshot URL

Output Handling

The script writes a full JSON artifact to /tmp by default and prints a compact summary to stdout.

The artifact includes:

  • normalized: structured YouTube-focused extraction
  • anycrawl: raw AnyCrawl response, including markdown, html, links, and screenshot@fullPage when available
  • request: the exact payload used for the successful attempt
