Supadata

API Key dataanalytics

Connect this agent connector to let your agent:

  • Get metadata, youtube playlist, youtube channel — Retrieve unified metadata for a video or media URL including title, description, author info, engagement stats, media details, and creation date
  • Scrape web — Scrape a web page and return its content as clean Markdown
  • Search youtube — Search YouTube for videos, channels, or playlists
  • Map web — Discover and return all URLs found on a website
  • Translate youtube transcript — Retrieve and translate a YouTube video transcript into a target language

This connector uses API Key authentication. Your users provide their Supadata API key once, and Scalekit stores and manages it securely. Your agent code never handles keys directly — you only pass a connectionName and a user identifier.

Set up the connector

Register your Scalekit environment with the Supadata connector so Scalekit can proxy API requests and inject your API key automatically. Unlike OAuth connectors, Supadata uses API key authentication — there is no redirect URI or OAuth flow.

  1. Get a Supadata API key

    Your Supadata API key is generated automatically when you create an account.

    • Go to dash.supadata.ai and sign up or sign in. No credit card is required for the free tier.
    • After signing in, click API Keys in the left sidebar.
    • Your auto-generated key is listed in the table. Click the key row to reveal or copy it.
    • To create a new dedicated key for this integration, click + New Key, give it a name (e.g., Agent Auth), and click Create.

  2. Create a connection in Scalekit

    • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent AuthCreate Connection. Find Supadata and click Create.
    • Note the Connection name — you will use this as connection_name in your code (e.g., supadata).
    • Click Save.

  3. Add a connected account

    Connected accounts link a specific user identifier in your system to a Supadata API key. Add them via the dashboard for testing, or via the Scalekit API in production.

    Via dashboard (for testing)

    • Open the connection you created and click the Connected Accounts tab → Add account.

    • Fill in:

      • Your User’s ID — a unique identifier for this user in your system (e.g., user_123)
      • API Key — the Supadata API key you copied in step 1
    • Click Save.

    Via API (for production)

    // Never hard-code API keys — read from secure storage or user input
    const supadataApiKey = getUserSupadataKey(); // retrieve from your secure store
    await scalekit.actions.upsertConnectedAccount({
    connectionName: 'supadata',
    identifier: 'user_123', // your user's unique ID
    credentials: { api_key: supadataApiKey },
    });
Code examples

Once a connected account is set up, make API calls through the Scalekit proxy. Scalekit injects the Supadata API key automatically as the x-api-key header — you never handle credentials in your application code.

You can interact with Supadata in two ways — via direct proxy API calls or via Scalekit optimized tool calls. Scroll down to see the list of available Scalekit tools.

Proxy API calls

import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node';
import 'dotenv/config';
const connectionName = 'supadata'; // connection name from your Scalekit dashboard
const identifier = 'user_123'; // your user's unique identifier
// Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
process.env.SCALEKIT_ENV_URL,
process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET
);
const actions = scalekit.actions;
// Get a YouTube transcript via Scalekit proxy — no API key needed here
const result = await actions.request({
connectionName,
identifier,
path: '/v1/youtube/transcript',
method: 'GET',
queryParams: { videoId: 'dQw4w9WgXcQ', text: 'true' },
});
console.log(result);
