What problem does it solve?

Extract YouTube transcripts by automating a real Firefox browser session with Selenium to bypass TLS bot detection and access transcripts when API-based methods fail or are blocked.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-browser transcript extraction: Uses Selenium Firefox to fetch transcripts from YouTube videos.
  • Authenticated sessions: Requires a Firefox profile with YouTube login to access age-restricted or gated transcripts.
  • Batch processing and caching: Processes multiple videos from batch_status.sqlite queue and caches transcripts in transcripts.sqlite.
  • Compatibility: Works alongside yt-dlp and supports per-channel extraction.

Quick Start
