Get youtube transcript

$get youtube transcript is a function that retrieves and returns the transcript of a YouTube video as a string using its video ID.

This function can be used to extract transcriptions of YouTube videos which can be helpful for various purposes like keyword analysis, content repurposing, etc.

Parameters

Video Id: This is the unique identifier for the YouTube video from which the transcript is to be retrieved. The video ID can be found in the video's URL.

Return Value

This function returns a string of the video's transcript.

Example

connect to youtube("path/to/your/client secret.json")
set(#video transcript,$get youtube transcript("dQw4w9WgXcQ"),"Global")

The script above connects to YouTube using the client secret file "client secret.json". Please replace "path/to/your/" with the actual path to your client secret file.

Next, it uses the "$get youtube transcript" function to get the transcript of the YouTube video with the ID "dQw4w9WgXcQ", and stores it in a global variable called '#video transcript'.

You can use the '#video transcript' variable to access the transcript of this video in your scripts.

Note: Not all YouTube videos have a transcript. Transcripts must have been generated by either YouTube's automated system or manually uploaded by the creator of the video. Videos without a transcript will return an empty string. Also the accuracy of the transcript may vary as it depends on the quality of the audio and the speech in the video.
