# MMK YouTube — Video Type > **Prerequisite:** Read [`../mmk-shared/SKILL.md`](../mmk-shared/SKILL.md) for auth, global flags, and error handling. > Parent: [`mmk-youtube`](../mmk-youtube/SKILL.md) — includes positional argument note. Always use `-o json` when parsing results or composing with other commands. All commands accept a **positional argument** — either a full YouTube URL or a plain video ID. The CLI auto-detects the format. **Always quote the URL** (see [Shell Quoting](../mmk-shared/SKILL.md#shell-quoting-important) in mmk-shared) — unquoted URLs containing `?` or `&` will fail in zsh. --- ## videotype — Identify video vs Short ```bash mmk youtube videotype <video_url_or_id> -o json mmk youtube videotype "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" -o json ``` Returns: video ID, type (`video` or `short`), source URL. --- ## See Also - [mmk-shared](../mmk-shared/SKILL.md) — Auth, global flags, error handling - [mmk-youtube](../mmk-youtube/SKILL.md) — All YouTube commands overview - [mmk-youtube-metadata](../mmk-youtube-metadata/SKILL.md) — Get video metadata - [mmk-youtube-transcript](../mmk-youtube-transcript/SKILL.md) — Get video transcript
