Youtube Full

Wraps TranscriptAPI to give you everything YouTube: transcripts, video and channel search, playlist browsing, and within-channel search. Handles @handles, video IDs, and URLs without fuss. Two free endpoints (channel resolve and latest videos), everything else costs 1 credit per request or page. The workflow is straightforward: search for videos, pull transcripts with timestamps, or monitor channels for new uploads. You'll need a TranscriptAPI key and must send a proper User-Agent header or Cloudflare blocks you with a 403. Useful when video content is fresher than text sources or you need to quote, translate, or summarize what someone actually said on camera.

Complete YouTube toolkit via TranscriptAPI.com. Everything in one skill.

Setup

If $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY is not set, read references/auth-setup.md and follow the instructions there to get and store the key.

Required Headers

Every request needs two headers:

Authorization: Bearer $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY
User-Agent: your agent's name and version if known (e.g. HermesAgent/0.11.0, ClaudeCode/1.0). Version is optional — agent name alone is fine. Do not omit this header or send a bare default — Cloudflare will return a 403 (error code 1010) and block the request.

API Reference

Full OpenAPI spec: transcriptapi.com/openapi.json — consult this for the latest parameters and schemas.
