Perplexity

Search and List Videos

Use `search_videos` to query the platform for content based on criteria. This is perfect for running nightly reports that check for specific keywords across thousands of videos. You can also use list tools like `list_my_videos` or `list_user_videos` in a cron job to audit all video uploads belonging to a user.

Manage Content State

The server supports both creation and deletion. Run `create_video_upload` when you need to automate the initial ticketing process for new content, or use `delete_video` in a cleanup script. If metadata needs adjusting after upload, pipe variables through `update_video(id, metadata)`.

Retrieve Profile Data

You can verify user identity using `get_me`. For external checks, use `get_user` to retrieve another account's profile. These commands output clean JSON that other scripts can consume. Need to know who owns the channel? Run `get_channel(id)` for specific channel metadata.
