# YouTube

> [YouTube Search](https://github.com/joetats/youtube_search) package searches `YouTube` videos avoiding using their heavily rate-limited API.
>
> It uses the form on the `YouTube` homepage and scrapes the resulting page.

This notebook shows how to use a tool to search YouTube.

Adapted from [https://github.com/venuv/langchain\_yt\_tools](https://github.com/venuv/langchain_yt_tools)
