## Content

The **Supadata YouTube Node** is a YouTube-only preset of the Supadata custom MCP server, authenticated with your Supadata API key. It exposes transcript and metadata actions for YouTube videos, with the transcript `mode` defaulting to `native`.


## Parameters

### Required Parameters
* **action** (string): The target Supadata MCP tool action to run. Must be one of the enabled actions:
  * `supadata_transcript`: YouTube video transcript. Input: `url` (required, YouTube URL only). Optional: `lang`, `text`, `chunkSize`, `mode` (defaults to `native`, which avoids AI generation).
  * `supadata_metadata`: YouTube video title, author, engagement and media details. Input: `url` (required, YouTube URL only).

### Optional Parameters
* **params** (object): A key-value dictionary containing action-specific inputs (e.g., `{'url': 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...', 'mode': 'native'}`).

## Practical Use Cases
1. **Video digest**: Fetch a YouTube transcript with native captions and summarize it, without paying for generated transcripts.
2. **Channel monitoring**: Pull metadata for new uploads to build a content calendar or alerting flow.
