Youtube Transcript Fetcher
Details
YouTube Transcript fetches video transcripts from YouTube via the youtube-transcript.io API. 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.
Use Cases
Generating searchable text from video content, creating video summaries or show notes, building accessibility tools for hearing-impaired users, extracting quotes with precise timestamps for citations, analyzing video content for keyword research, creating training data from educational videos, building video search indexes across content libraries, translating video content by extracting source transcripts, generating subtitles or closed captions in alternate formats, content repurposing for blogs or articles, timestamped note-taking for lectures or tutorials, compliance review of recorded meetings or webinars, sentiment analysis on video commentary, creating chapter markers from transcript segments.
