# YouTube Playlist IDs for Cross-Channel Catalog Matching

**Use case:** 

Collect playlist IDs and source-channel references from the channels you select. Join the results in your own catalog to check whether the same collection appears across those inputs, retaining each source relationship rather than assuming different cards represent different playlists.

## Input

```json
{
  "inputList": [
    "NASA",
    "EuropeanSpaceAgency"
  ],
  "pagesPerInput": 1
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [YouTube Channel Playlists – Titles, Links & Counts](https://apify.com/scrapingmonkey/youtube-channel-playlists-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/scrapingmonkey/youtube-channel-playlists-scraper.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
