Product: Visual Intelligence — Social Media Scraping Use case: Fetch video metadata, transcripts, captions, and comments from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter/X Host: https://mavi-backend.memories.ai/serve/api/v2 Auth: Authorization: sk-mavi-... (no Bearer prefix)

This API is used to get detailed information for YouTube videos.

Channel routing guide: see Social Media Scraping Overview. Endpoints with a channel request field let you choose apify, rapid, or memories.ai; endpoints without this field use managed routing.

Each API call costs $0.01 USD.

Channel Options

If your request supports a channel option, use it to control how scraper data is sourced:

Channel	What it means	Typical trade-off
`apify`	Uses Apify, a dedicated web scraping platform with broad content coverage.	Most stable and most complete results, but usually more expensive.
`rapid`	Uses RapidAPI, a lower-cost aggregation platform.	Lower cost, but less stable and often narrower coverage.
`memories.ai`	Managed routing by Memories.ai.	Automatically selects the best price/performance path for your request.

Recommendation: Start with memories.ai unless you need to force a specific provider.

Code Example

import requests

BASE_URL = "https://mavi-backend.memories.ai/serve/api/v2"
API_KEY = "sk-mavi-..."
HEADERS = {
    "Authorization": f"{API_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

def youtube_video_detail(video_id: str):
    url = f"{BASE_URL}/youtube/video/detail"
    data = {"video_id": video_id}
    resp = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=HEADERS)
    return resp.json()

# Usage example
result = youtube_video_detail("your_youtube_video_id")
print(result)

const axios = require('axios');

const BASE_URL = 'https://mavi-backend.memories.ai/serve/api/v2';
const API_KEY = 'sk-mavi-...';

const headers = {
    'Authorization': API_KEY,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};

async function youtubeVideoDetail(videoId) {
    const response = await axios.post(
        `${BASE_URL}/youtube/video/detail`,
        { video_id: videoId },
        { headers }
    );
    return response.data;
}

// Usage example
youtubeVideoDetail('your_youtube_video_id')
    .then(result => console.log(result));

curl -X POST "https://mavi-backend.memories.ai/serve/api/v2/youtube/video/detail" \
  -H "Authorization: sk-mavi-..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "video_id": "your_youtube_video_id"
  }'

Request Body

Field	Type	Required	Description
video_id	string	Yes	YouTube video ID — the `v` parameter from the YouTube video URL

How to get the video_id: Extract the v parameter from a YouTube video URL.For example, from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2y4OpzKIK4, the video_id is Y2y4OpzKIK4.

Response

Returns detailed information for the YouTube video.
