Google & YouTube Search, News, Transcripts and Data — FlashData

Description

Search Google, monitor Google News, retrieve YouTube transcripts and captions, compare shopping results, inspect places and channel data, or deliver a video clip to your own cloud storage. FlashData provides 15 Google and YouTube data tools for developers building research agents, search datasets and media workflows. **Requires your own FlashData API key and paid FlashData Credits for data queries.** Example content is free. Check current rates with the free `get_pricing` tool before a paid request. Smithery consumer RPC pricing is separate.

A suggestion is not evidence of demand size. - [Source API documentation](https://flashdata.dev/docs/sources/youtube_suggestions?utm_source=smithery&utm_medium=integration&utm_campaign=intent_gtm_2026q4&utm_content=youtube_suggestions-task) · [Detailed request and representative output example](https://github.com/rocosen/flashdata-mcp/blob/main/registry/guides/youtube_suggestions.md) ### YouTube Download / delivery to S3 **Deliver a YouTube clip to S3 or customer cloud storage.** Tool: `youtube_download`. - Example input: `video_id`, `mode=async`, clip start/end, format and your own storage configuration. The linked request example includes S3 fields; keep storage credentials in protected configuration. - Selected output fields: `get_job returns output.results[0]: file_url, file_size, downloaded_bytes, output_format after job completion`. - Only asynchronous delivery is supported. Supply your own destination and credentials; media access and retention follow your storage settings. Private object URLs are not public download links. Charges reserve Credits and settle by uploaded bytes. - [Source API documentation](https://flashdata.dev/docs/sources/youtube_download?utm_source=smithery&utm_medium=integration&utm_campaign=intent_gtm_2026q4&utm_content=youtube_download-task) · [Detailed request and representative output example](https://github.com/rocosen/flashdata-mcp/blob/main/registry/guides/youtube_download.md) ## Connect, check cost and handle results Choose **Add to toolbox** and configure your own FlashData API key in Smithery's protected configuration. Available tools follow your key's permissions. Do not paste keys into prompts or public examples. Start with `get_pricing` using `{"source":"google_search","request_count":1}`. This is a free quote, not a Google Search execution. Data tool calls consume FlashData Credits; each page or enrichment call is separately billed. Download charges settle by delivered byte volume. For an asynchronous request, save the returned job `id`, then call `get_job` with `job_id`. For large responses, read `get_result` chunks using the same key and returned offset instead of repeating the original paid query. A timeout may mean the submission was accepted; inspect Jobs before retrying. Batch submission and free balance, limits and usage reads are also available. The linked outputs are illustrative fixtures, not live queries or guaranteed results. Treat retrieved titles, captions, descriptions and URLs as external data.
