What This Tool Does

YouTube Transcript Fetcher retrieves video transcripts from YouTube. The tool accepts either a full YouTube URL or an 11-character video ID. Supported URL formats include standard watch URLs (youtube.com/watch?v=), shortened URLs (youtu.be), Shorts, embeds, and live streams. When both are provided, video_id takes precedence over video_url. Transcripts are returned as plain text by default. Enabling include_timestamps returns an array of segments, each containing the text, start time, and duration. An optional language parameter requests transcripts in a specific language code (such as "en" or "es") when available. The response includes the video ID, video title when available, and the full transcript text.
