## About YouTube Transcript Extractor API Skill

Give it a YouTube video and this pulls the full transcript along with the metadata around it - the title, like counts, publisher information and channel links.

It fits the point where you need the words rather than the footage: summarising a video without watching it, analysing the text for media research, or examining video content in detail.

It also serves the collecting side of the job, whether that means putting subtitles into an internal knowledge base, feeding full video content into a summarisation pipeline, or building a dataset out of transcripts.
