Good to know
A few answers before you build.
What can I build with the Rad TV API?
Build publishing pipelines, YouTube sync workflows, playlist tools, engagement features, and content catalogs. The GraphQL API provides a typed endpoint for platform operations, including compound workflows that combine upload and publishing steps.
What is the MCP server?
The Model Context Protocol connects AI assistants such as Claude Code and Cursor to Rad. Its tools cover channels, content, publishing, playlists, engagement, YouTube, and workflows. It supports Streamable HTTP with Bearer token and OAuth 2.1 authentication.
How do I get an API key?
Choose Premium, Premium+, or Creator+, then open Account Settings > Developer to generate your key. Use it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for GraphQL requests and MCP connections.
Do I need Creator+ for AI features?
Yes. AI upscaling, surround sound upmixing, and virality prediction require Creator+ ($29.99/month). Standard API access, content management, YouTube sync, playlists, and engagement are included with Premium and Premium+ too.
