## youtube/playlist

`GET /v1/youtube/playlist`

Playlist metadata: title, description, owning channel, video count and privacy.

*YouTube playlist*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `playlist_id` | yes | Playlist id — e.g. `PLOU2XLYxmsIKpaV8h0AGE05so0fAwwfTw` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 1 credit at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
