## README

### YouTube Community Post API

Fetch a single YouTube community post by URL (text, images, channel, publish time).

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/youtube/community-post" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx1LonSRBBUqASv-J8j9_FesxwlMAhT3_e"}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. A lookup that finds nothing still succeeds and returns `found: false`.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | string | Yes | URL of the YouTube community post. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.0012 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
