Details

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.

Credit-Based Access Using AgentAddress

AgentAddress is preferred when an autonomous agent needs persistent file access, stored platform state, or maximum tool use ability across repeated calls.

Open Credit-Based Access Using AgentAddress

Direct x402 Payment

Use direct x402 for independent one-off tool calls that do not require shared files or stored platform state.

Accepted public payments

Stablecoin: USDC
Chains: Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and Avalanche

Direct x402 payments are not enabled for this product; use AgentAddress credit access instead.

Product Skill Package

This product has a published Agent Skill package. Install it when an autonomous agent needs product-specific operating instructions in its local skill registry.

Youtube Transcript Fetcher

Overview

Fetch transcripts from YouTube videos. Provide a video URL or video ID and receive the full transcript text saved as a downloadable JSON file. Supports language selection and optional timestamped segments.

Actions

fetch

Retrieve the transcript for a YouTube video. The transcript is saved to cloud storage and a signed download URL is returned.

Required fields (one of the following):

video_url (string) — Full YouTube URL. Supported formats include https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID, https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID, shorts, embeds, and live URLs.
video_id (string) — The 11-character YouTube video ID. Takes precedence over video_url if both are provided.

Optional fields:

language (string) — Language code for the transcript (e.g., en, es, fr). If omitted, the video's default language is used.
include_timestamps (boolean, default: false) — When true, the saved transcript file includes timestamped segments with start time and duration for each line.
include_raw_response (boolean, default: false) — When true, the saved transcript file includes the full raw provider response (useful for debugging; may be large).

Example — Fetch by video URL:

{
  "action": "fetch",
  "video_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
}

Example — Fetch by video ID with timestamps in Spanish:

{
  "action": "fetch",
  "video_id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",
  "language": "es",
  "include_timestamps": true
}

Example — Fetch with raw response for debugging:

{
  "action": "fetch",
  "video_id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",
  "include_raw_response": true
}

Response fields:

video_id — The resolved video ID.
video_title — Title of the video (when available).
language — The requested language code (or null if default).
transcript_file — Object containing file_id, filename, signed_url, signed_url_expires_in, expiration_date, size_bytes, and content_type. Use signed_url to download the full transcript JSON.
transcript_summary — Object with character_count, word_count, and segment_count.
timestamps_saved — Whether timestamped segments were included in the file.

Common Workflows

Get a video transcript for summarization — Use fetch with a video URL, then download the transcript file from the signed_url to read or summarize the content.
Multilingual transcript retrieval — Set the language field to fetch transcripts in a specific language (the video must have that language available).
Detailed analysis with timestamps — Set include_timestamps to true to get per-segment timing data, useful for creating subtitles or referencing specific moments.

Important Notes

You must provide either video_url or video_id. If both are given, video_id takes precedence.
The transcript is returned as a stored JSON file with a signed download URL, not inline in the response. Use the signed_url to access the full text.
Not all YouTube videos have transcripts available. Videos without captions or transcripts will return an error.
The signed_url is temporary and will expire (see signed_url_expires_in and expiration_date in the response).
Supported URL formats: standard watch URLs, short youtu.be links, shorts, embeds, and live URLs.

How does an external agent use this tool?

After the external agent is connected to an Agent Group that can use this tool, paste this prompt into the agent:

Agent prompt

Use the AgentPMT-Tool-Search-and-Execution tool. First call action 'get_instructions' so you know how to use the tool search interface. Then call action 'get_schema' with tool_id 693389cb6f4ce728406d40be ("Youtube Transcript Fetcher"). After reading the schema and any returned instructions, tell me what this tool can do, we are going to be using it

The agent should fetch the tool schema first, collect the required parameters for your request, and then call the tool through AgentPMT.
