Use TranscriptAPI to search YouTube and retrieve transcripts, channel data and playlist items.
Overview

It covers searching by query, retrieving the transcript for an identified video, resolving a channel and reading videos or playlist items. The instructions explain when to carry a returned identifier into the next request and when a partial result may need another page. That makes it suitable for workflows that need to find the video before reading it.

Use the named YouTube Full skill folder and the author’s authentication guide. The workflow needs internet access and a TranscriptAPI key.
Things to know
Available languages and transcripts depend on the video and service. TranscriptAPI account limits apply. Use the video as the reference when exact wording matters.
