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. This Skill fetches the video transcript automatically and transforms it into structured, reusable written content. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Transcript Extraction: Fetch transcripts from any YouTube URL format (watch links, youtu.be, shorts, embeds, live) with language fallback support. - Content Transformation: Convert transcripts into chapters, summaries, chapter summaries, short post series drafts, blog posts, or timestamped quotes. - Long Video Handling: Automatically chunks transcripts over 50K characters with overlap, summarizes each chunk, and merges results. - Use Case: A user shares a 45-minute conference talk link and asks for a summary with chapters; the Skill fetches the transcript, validates it, and returns a timestamped chapter list plus a concise overview. ## Quick Start Summarize this YouTube video into chapters and a short overview: 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 any public video. The helper script accepts standard URLs, short links, shorts, embeds, or a raw 11-character video ID and outputs JSON or plain text.

How to summarize a YouTube video without watching it?▼

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

What YouTube URL formats are supported for transcript extraction?▼

The script supports standard watch URLs, youtu.be short links, shorts, embeds, live links, and raw 11-character video IDs. It extracts the video ID automatically using pattern matching.

Why does transcript extraction fail for some YouTube videos?▼

Extraction fails when transcripts are disabled by the video owner, the video is private or unavailable, or no transcript exists in the requested language. Retrying without the --language flag fetches any available transcript.

Can I fetch YouTube transcripts in a specific language?▼

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