What This Skill Does

TubeLab provides REST API access to YouTube analytics data, including channel search, outlier video discovery, transcripts, comments, and automated niche scans. It adds AI-enhanced fields like revenue estimates, faceless content classification, and engagement ratio scoring across 30+ filters. Most endpoints cost credits; rate limit is 10 requests per minute.

Provides revenue estimates, AI quality classification, and outlier z-scores not available through the standard YouTube Data API.

When to use it

  • Finding profitable YouTube niches with high average views and low subscriber counts
  • Identifying viral outlier videos in a specific topic area by z-score and view ratio
  • Pulling full transcripts from competitor videos to analyze content structure
  • Discovering channels with similar content to a known competitor
  • Running automated scans to surface trending channels and videos in any niche
