OpenWebUI + YouTube Playlists

What is OpenWebUI?

Self-hosted ChatGPT-style interface that runs on top of Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible backend. Drop Scavio in as a tool plugin so every local chat can ground answers in live Google, YouTube, and Amazon results.

Searching YouTube Playlists with OpenWebUI

This integration lets your OpenWebUI agent search YouTube Playlists in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with playlist title, video count, creator, last updated — ready for reasoning and decision-making.

Setup

# Install Scavio tool from Open WebUI Functions, add SCAVIO_API_KEY

Code Example

Here is a complete OpenWebUI agent that searches YouTube Playlists using Scavio:

# Generic HTTP integration for OpenWebUI
# Use your framework's HTTP request tool to call:
# POST https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search
# Header: x-api-key: your_scavio_api_key
# Body: {"query": "your search query"}
