Fetching YouTube Video

Fetch Azure Bicep community call metadata from a URL provided by the user.

If no URL is provided, then skip.

Steps

1. Extract the video ID from the URL (watch?v=, /shorts/, or youtu.be/ formats)
2. Fetch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={video_id} and parse the HTML for:
   • <title> → video title
   • <meta name="description"> → description
   • og:image meta tag → thumbnail URL

Version extraction

Try in this order — stop as soon as the version is found:

1. Scan title and description for v?(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)
2. If not found: fetch the thumbnail image (thumbnail_url) and use vision to read the version number from it — it is displayed as large text (e.g. v0.41) in the top-left corner of the thumbnail
3. If still not found: ask the user: "I couldn't find the Bicep version number in the video title, description, or thumbnail. Can you please provide it?"
