Trending Videos

search_youtube_suggested_videos

Search the auto-updated catalog of videos YouTube actively suggests to users — the home feed and "Up Next" recommendations. Each result carries a precomputed outlier score so your AI can instantly surface breakout videos without any extra analysis step.

Best for:

• "What is YouTube recommending right now?"
• "Find trending video ideas in the [niche] space"
• "Show me breakout videos with a high outlier score from small channels"
• "What are the newest suggested videos published this week?"
• "Find Shorts YouTube is pushing in the finance category"

What it returns:

• Video title, thumbnail, view count, like count, comment count
• Publish date, duration, engagement rate
• Channel subscriber count (channelSubCount) — pre-joined, no extra lookup needed
• Outlier score — how much the video over-performs vs the channel average

Example prompts:

Filters & parameters:

All parameters are optional. Filters only apply to videos where the field exists.

Pagination:

Ask your AI to "show more results" or "get the next page" — it will increment the page parameter automatically. The response includes hasMore: true/false to signal whether more results exist.

search_viral_videos_small_channels

Search NexLev's curated collection of breakout hits — videos where a low-subscriber channel received unusually high view counts. The collection is refreshed continuously and limited to videos published within the last 90 days so results are always fresh.

Best for:

• "Find viral videos from channels with under 10K subscribers"
• "Show me recent breakout videos from tiny channels with over 500K views"
• "What are the newest viral hits from small YouTube channels?"
• "Find long-form viral videos from channels under 50K subs"

What it returns:

• Video title, thumbnail, view count, video duration
• Channel subscriber count (channelSubCount)
• Publish date and collection date
• Direct video ID for further analysis

Data rules:

• Deleted videos are always excluded automatically
• Videos published more than 90 days ago are excluded — the collection focuses on recent breakouts
• channelSubCount may be missing on some older records — subscriber filters only match documents that have the field

Example prompts:

Filters & parameters:

All parameters are optional.

Pagination:

The response includes total, totalPages, and page — ask your AI to "get page 2" or "show more viral videos" and it will handle the next page automatically.

Browse NexLev's curated collection of faceless and AI-generated outlier videos — content where the creator never appears on camera and that significantly outperformed its niche average.

Best for:

• "Find faceless outlier videos in the finance niche"
• "Show me AI-generated videos that went viral in the history space"
• "Find long-form faceless videos with an outlier score above 2"
• "What faceless Shorts are outperforming their niche this month?"

What it returns:

• Video title, thumbnail, view count, duration, publish date
• Channel title, avatar, handle, subscriber count, and video count
• isFaceless and isAiContent flags
• Outlier score showing how much the video exceeded the channel/niche average

All parameters are optional.

Seen-video behavior:

Repeated identical calls return identical results by default — browsing through this tool never marks videos as "seen" and never consumes your NexLev dashboard feed. Use the page parameter to see more results, or set excludeSeenVideos: false to allow repeats.
