### 1.0.0 - 2026-09-28

First public release.

- YouTube search (upload-date, type, length and sort filters), channel Videos/Shorts/Live tabs in Latest/Popular/Oldest order, playlists, single videos and channel profile rows, read from YouTube's own public web endpoints with no login and no API key.
- Every row carries `status`, so a missing record (`not_found`) and a failure (`error`) are told apart from real data. Only `ok` rows are charged.
- Records are validated against a schema before they are written, so an upstream change produces loud warnings instead of silently billing for empty rows.
- Callable with no arguments by an AI agent, which the input schema's defaults make safe.
