Use Glasser: Find videos by topic, up to 100 search requests. Use ScrapeCreators data. Ask me for topics. Fetch one result page per query. Return results in a table.
The official Data API uses project quotas rather than the request tariff shown for Glasser. Free quota can make direct access economical when it meets your task. Requesting more quota requires Google’s process. Read the official guide.
The current quota guide gives search.list a separate 100-call daily bucket. Do not apply an older shared-pool search calculation without checking the current project limits. Read the official guide.
Official captions.download requires permission to edit the video. Public transcript retrieval through Glasser is a different access path and depends on transcript availability. Read the official guide.
The selected data requests or returned records at the listed rate. Pagination, retries and extra steps can add usage. Adding balance, agent or model charges and taxes are separate. No monthly Glasser subscription is required.
Copy the task prompt to your agent, set up the Glasser skill and supply the requested inputs. Use one Glasser connection to combine data sources; inspect the selected endpoint for its input limits and available fields.
