CAUTIONPublisher claims: "Get YouTube transcripts with the harshmaur/youtube-transcript-scraper Apify Actor: captions for single videos, Shorts, whole channels or playlists, as timestamped segments, plain text, SRT or VTT, with an optional translation into one of 156 languages, plus video and channel metadata (title, views, likes, comments, duration, publish date, subscribers). Use when the user says "transcribe this YouTube video", "get the transcript of this video", "summarize this YouTube video", "download subtitles as SRT", "transcripts of the last 50 videos from @channel", "what did they say about X on this channel", "translate this video's captions to Spanish", or wants YouTube text for RAG, notes, quotes or research. No YouTube account, cookies or API key is needed. Out of scope: video or audio downloads, YouTube comments, keyword search across YouTube, and speech-to-text for videos without captions."
