SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires youtube-transcript-api, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Manually watching long YouTube videos to capture key points is time-consuming, and repurposing video content into written formats requires tedious transcription work. This Skill fetches the transcript directly and transforms it into structured written content. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Transcript Extraction: Fetch transcripts from any YouTube URL format (watch links, youtu.be, shorts, embeds, live, or raw video IDs) with optional timestamps and language selection. - Content Transformation: Convert transcripts into chapters, summaries, chapter summaries, Twitter/X threads, blog posts, or timestamped quotes. - Long Video Handling: Automatically chunk transcripts over 50K characters with overlap, summarize each chunk, and merge results. - Use Case: A user shares a 45-minute conference talk link and asks for a summary plus a Twitter thread; the Skill fetches the transcript, validates it, and produces both outputs with accurate timestamps. ## Quick Start Summarize this YouTube video and give me a chapter breakdown: https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID

Frequently Asked Questions about youtube-content

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a transcript from a YouTube video in Python?▼

Use the youtube-transcript-api package to fetch transcript segments for a video ID. The fetch_transcript.py script wraps this library, accepting any YouTube URL format and outputting JSON with full text, timestamps, and metadata.

How to summarize a YouTube video without watching it?▼

Fetch the video transcript with the helper script using --text-only --timestamps, then transform it into a summary, chapters, thread, or blog post. Transcripts over 50K characters are chunked with overlap and summarized before merging.

What YouTube URL formats are supported for transcript extraction?▼

The script accepts standard watch URLs, youtu.be short links, shorts, embeds, live links, and raw 11-character video IDs. It extracts the video ID using regex patterns before calling the API.

Why does YouTube transcript fetching fail for some videos?▼

Fetching fails when transcripts are disabled by the video owner, the video is private or unavailable, or no transcript matches the requested language. Retry without the --language flag to fetch any available transcript.

Can I fetch YouTube transcripts in languages other than English?▼

Yes, pass a comma-separated language list with --language, such as tr,en, to set a fallback chain. If no matching language exists, omit the flag to retrieve whatever transcript is available and note the actual language.
