Dedicated endpoint for ingesting YouTube videos.

This endpoint processes YouTube videos and returns a file_id that you can use with the /chat/v1/api/video/youtube endpoint.

Example Request:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://app.skimming.ai/back/source/v1/api/youtube \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "source": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"
  }'

Then use the file_id with /chat/v1/api/video/youtube to ask questions about the video.
