The old way costs you hours

Getting YouTube data into Claude used to mean OAuth setup, quota limits, and a lot of copy-pasting.

Before
  • Navigate to each YouTube channel manually, click through to About and Videos tabs
  • Copy subscriber count, video views, likes, and comments one field at a time
  • For comment analysis: scroll, copy, paste into a doc, then upload to Claude
  • Try the YouTube Data API - spend an hour on OAuth, quota limits, and JSON parsing
  • Repeat everything the next time you need fresh data
After
  • Open Claude
  • "Get the last 10 videos from @channel and pull top comments from the most viewed one"
  • Claude fetches channel stats, video data, and comments in one conversation
  • Ask follow-ups, switch to a different channel, or request sentiment analysis - no starting over
  • Done.

Built for marketing teams

Three YouTube workflows marketers run every week - all inside Claude, no extra tools.

Creator Vetting with Full Video Context

Shortlisting YouTube creators for a sponsorship? Ask Claude to pull their channel stats and last 10 videos in one request. Compare subscriber counts, average views per video, and content topics across up to 5 creators without switching tabs.

"Get channel stats and the last 10 videos for @creator1 and @creator2. Compare their average views per video and tell me which topics consistently outperform."

Saves ~5 hours per campaign

Comment Sentiment Without Leaving Claude

Need to know how an audience actually feels about a product, video, or topic? Ask Claude to pull the top 50 comments from a video and analyse sentiment, recurring themes, and what the audience is asking for - all in one response.

"Pull the top 50 comments from this video: youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx. Summarise the overall sentiment and list the most common questions or complaints."

Saves ~4 hours per research brief

Competitor YouTube Audits for Clients

Client wants to understand their YouTube position before the strategy session. Pull their channel alongside two competitors, compare video output and view performance, then grab comments from each channel's top video to understand audience tone. Hand over the brief the same day.

"Get the last 20 videos from @clientchannel and @competitor1. Compare average views, likes, and tag usage. Then pull top comments from each channel's best video."

Saves ~7 hours per client audit

Frequently asked questions

No. The connector handles all of that behind the scenes. You don't need a YouTube Data API key, Google Cloud Console access, OAuth credentials, or any developer setup. Sign up, paste the connector URL into Claude, and you're ready.

Channel profile info costs 1 credit per channel. Video list extraction and comment extraction both cost 2 credits per call, regardless of how many results are returned up to the limit. Your dashboard shows exact credit costs for each tool before and after each call.

Up to 50 videos per channel per call, with a default of 10. Up to 100 comments per video per call, with a default of 30. For channel profiles, up to 5 channels can be fetched in a single call. Just tell Claude how many you need.

No. The connector only extracts publicly available data from public YouTube channels and videos - the same data visible to anyone on YouTube without logging in. Private channels and unlisted videos are not accessible.

The Smacient's Claude Connector works with Claude.ai (Pro and Team plans support custom connectors), Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork. Any Claude client that supports MCP will work. If you can add a custom MCP server URL, this connector will work.

After signing up, go to Claude.ai Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Paste the URL from your Smacient dashboard and click Connect. Claude will prompt you to sign in with your Smacient account. Full instructions are in your dashboard and documentation.

No. One connector URL unlocks all tools across 14 platforms: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps, Amazon, App Store, Google Play, Meta Ads Library, Google Ads Library, Google Keyword Planner, GA4, Search Console, Meta Ads, and Google Ads. Credits work across all tools.

No. Credits never expire. Buy a pack when you need it and use them at your own pace.
