View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Searches for videos across the web using the Brave Search API. Returns results with titles, URLs, thumbnails, durations, view counts, and creator info. Supports freshness filters, SafeSearch, pagination, and search operators like site-specific queries.
Gives you structured video metadata (duration, views, creator, tags) in a single API call, which you'd otherwise have to scrape from multiple platforms individually.
When to use it
- Finding tutorial videos on a specific programming topic with view counts to gauge quality
- Tracking newly published videos on a trending subject using freshness filters
- Pulling video metadata like duration and creator for a content curation pipeline
- Searching a specific platform like YouTube or Vimeo using site operators
- Gathering view count and engagement data for competitor video analysis
