What is Haystack?
End-to-end NLP framework for building search, RAG, and question answering pipelines. Developed by deepset.
Searching YouTube with Haystack
This integration lets your Haystack agent search YouTube in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with video results, channel results, playlist results, transcripts — ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
pip install haystack-ai requestsCode Example
Here is a complete Haystack agent that searches YouTube using Scavio:
Python
from haystack import Pipeline
from haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator
import requests
import json
def scavio_search(query: str) -> str:
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/youtube/search",
headers={"x-api-key": "your_scavio_api_key", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
json={"query": query},
)
return json.dumps(response.json(), indent=2)
# Search and pass results to the LLM
search_results = scavio_search("python web scraping tutorial")
generator = OpenAIGenerator(model="gpt-4o")
response = generator.run(
prompt=f"Based on these search results, provide a summary:\n{search_results}"
)
print(response["replies"][0])Full Working Example
