# YouTube Channel New Videos Monitor - No API Key

**Use case:** 

Get the latest videos from any YouTube channel without an API key or quota: title, URL, views, duration, publish time, thumbnail and whether it's a Short. Schedule it and the built-in dedupe returns only videos you haven't seen yet. This example tracks NASA's channel (@NASA); swap in any channel.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/reportable_broth/youtube-scraper-monitor.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
