01// about this endpoint

Video Screenshot is not available: the upstream extracts no frame for any video ("Could not extract frame at the specified timestamp", checked October 26, 2026), so every call fails. It is off the YouTube video tool that MCP clients get. To learn what a video says, read its subtitles instead.

Call it over REST

Authenticate with a bearer token against https://api.superagnt.com. Swap the placeholders for your key and parameter values.

curl -s "https://api.superagnt.com/video/screenshot?video_id=<video_id>&timestamp_s=<timestamp_s>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>"
03// give it to your agent

Copy-paste prompt

Paste this into a coding agent. It connects the superagnt MCP server, finds the tool data_youtube_video_screenshot, and runs a first call — with the REST fallback if MCP is unavailable.

You are wiring up the superagnt "YouTube" API to use this endpoint: Video Screenshot.

1. CONNECT over MCP (preferred). No token to paste either way.
   On Claude (claude.ai, the desktop app, or Claude Code signed in with a Claude
   account), the server is a connector: give the user this link, they click Add
   and approve:
     https://claude.ai/customize/connectors/yours?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=superagnt&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.superagnt.com%2Fmcp&open_in_browser=1
   Any other MCP client (or Claude Code signed in with an API key): add the server
   and let the client run the browser sign-in:
     claude mcp add --scope user --transport http superagnt https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
     claude mcp login superagnt
   MCP endpoint: https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
   After connecting, the tool you want is named exactly:
     data_youtube_video_screenshot
   Call agnt_tools_search or agnt_tools_list_enabled to confirm it is available.

2. REST fallback (if you are not using MCP):
     GET https://api.superagnt.com/video/screenshot
     Header: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>
   Required parameters:
    - video_id (string, required)
    - timestamp_s (number, required)
   Optional parameters:
    - (none)

3. COST & KEY. Each successful call costs $0.003 in credits. Only successful calls are charged.
   Get a superagnt API key at https://app.superagnt.com.

4. TEST. Connect the server (or set the key), discover the tool
   (data_youtube_video_screenshot), run one minimal call with just the required parameters,
   and report back the shape of the JSON response (top-level fields).
