YouTube Transcript

Overview

Fetches transcripts, search results, and playlist/channel data from YouTube via the getyoutubetranscript.com REST API, so an agent can summarize, quote, search, or analyze a video's actual spoken content without the user copy-pasting it in by hand. No yt-dlp and no Google API key required.
