What is LlamaIndex?
Data framework for building RAG pipelines and LLM applications over custom data. Connects LLMs to external data sources.
Searching YouTube with LlamaIndex
This integration lets your LlamaIndex 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 llama-index requestsCode Example
Here is a complete LlamaIndex agent that searches YouTube using Scavio:
Python
from llama_index.core.tools import FunctionTool
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI
from llama_index.core.agent import ReActAgent
import requests
def search_youtube(query: str) -> str:
"""Search YouTube for real-time results."""
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 str(response.json())
tool = FunctionTool.from_defaults(fn=search_youtube)
llm = OpenAI(model="gpt-4o")
agent = ReActAgent.from_tools([tool], llm=llm, verbose=True)
response = agent.chat("python web scraping tutorial")
