YouTube Skill

Process any YouTube video through Gemini's native video API. No transcript scraping — it sees the actual video (visual + audio). 5 credits per video, refunded if processing fails.

Bootstrap (ALWAYS Run First)

#!/bin/bash
set -e

# 1. Check atris CLI
if ! command -v atris &> /dev/null; then
  echo "Installing atris CLI..."
  npm install -g atris
fi

# 2. Check login
if [ ! -f ~/.atris/credentials.json ]; then
  echo "Not logged in. Run: atris login"
  exit 1
fi

# 3. Extract token
if command -v node &> /dev/null; then
  TOKEN=$(node -e "console.log(require('$HOME/.atris/credentials.json').token)")
elif command -v python3 &> /dev/null; then
  TOKEN=$(python3 -c "import json,os; print(json.load(open(os.path.expanduser('~/.atris/credentials.json')))['token'])")
elif command -v jq &> /dev/null; then
  TOKEN=$(jq -r '.token' ~/.atris/credentials.json)
else
  echo "Error: Need node, python3, or jq to read credentials"
  exit 1
fi

# 4. Auth check
STATUS=$(curl -s "https://api.atris.ai/api/me" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN")

if echo "$STATUS" | grep -q "Token expired\|Not authenticated\|Unauthorized"; then
  echo "Token expired. Run: atris login --force"
  exit 1
fi

echo "Ready. YouTube skill active (5 credits per video)."
export ATRIS_TOKEN="$TOKEN"

API Reference

Get Token

TOKEN=$(node -e "console.log(require('$HOME/.atris/credentials.json').token)")

Process a Video

curl -s -X POST "https://api.atris.ai/api/agent/process_youtube" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "youtube_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID",
    "query": "What are the key takeaways?"
  }'

Parameters:

Response:

{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "YouTube video processed successfully",
  "youtube_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...",
  "video_analysis": "This video covers...",
  "stored_as_knowledge": false,
  "credits_used": 5,
  "credits_remaining": 95,
  "metadata": {
    "title": "Video Title",
    "channel": "Channel Name"
  }
}

Process + Store as Knowledge

curl -s -X POST "https://api.atris.ai/api/agent/process_youtube" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "youtube_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...",
    "query": "Extract the main arguments and evidence",
    "agent_id": "YOUR_AGENT_ID",
    "store_as_knowledge": true
  }'

Workflows

"Learn from this YouTube video"

1. Run bootstrap
2. Process: POST /api/agent/process_youtube with {youtube_url, query: "What are the key lessons and insights?"}
3. Display the analysis to the user

"What does this video say about X?"

1. Run bootstrap
2. Process with focused query: {youtube_url, query: "What does this say about X?"}
3. Show the focused analysis

"Process multiple videos on a topic"

1. Run bootstrap
2. Process each sequentially (each = 5 credits):

VIDEOS=(
  "https://youtube.com/watch?v=AAA"
  "https://youtube.com/watch?v=BBB"
)

for url in "${VIDEOS[@]}"; do
  echo "Processing: $url"
  curl -s -X POST "https://api.atris.ai/api/agent/process_youtube" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"youtube_url\": \"$url\", \"query\": \"Key insights and takeaways\"}"
  echo ""
done

3. Synthesize findings across all videos

"Save video insights to my agent's memory"

1. Run bootstrap
2. Get your agent ID: curl -s "https://api.atris.ai/api/agent/my-agents" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
3. Process with storage: {youtube_url, agent_id: "...", store_as_knowledge: true}
4. Agent can now reference these insights in future conversations

How It Works

One Gemini call. The YouTube URL goes directly to Gemini's native multimodal API — it processes the actual video frames and audio, not just a transcript. This means it can describe visuals, read slides, understand demos, and catch things transcripts miss.

Billing

• 5 credits per video (flat rate, any length)
• Credits deducted before processing
• Full refund if Gemini fails or returns an error
• Insufficient credits returns 402 with your current balance

Error Handling

Quick Reference

# Setup (once)
npm install -g atris && atris login

# Get token
TOKEN=$(node -e "console.log(require('$HOME/.atris/credentials.json').token)")

# Process a video
curl -s -X POST "https://api.atris.ai/api/agent/process_youtube" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"youtube_url": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=...", "query": "Summarize this"}'

# Process + store to agent knowledge
curl -s -X POST "https://api.atris.ai/api/agent/process_youtube" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"youtube_url": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=...", "agent_id": "YOUR_ID", "store_as_knowledge": true}'
