Overview
Algrow — YouTube research, text-to-speech, and AI media platform
Algrow is a YouTube intelligence and AI media platform that combines channel research, text-to-speech, and AI image, video, and thumbnail generation behind a single API. Search curated Shorts and Longform channel databases, pull daily growth analytics, scrape YouTube data, and turn scripts into hosted audio — all with one API key.
Everything in these docs is available two ways: the REST API for your own code, and the MCP server for Claude, Cursor, and other AI assistants.
