Summary
Turns video into text you can search, quote and summarize.
Search and transcript together are what make a video answerable: you find the handful of videos that cover a topic, then read what was actually said in them — with timestamps, so a claim can be pointed back at the moment it was made.
What it is
A YouTube server with two jobs: search the platform for videos on a query, and pull the transcript of a video from its URL or ID.
What you get
- A video search with a result count you set
- Titles, channels, descriptions, URLs and metadata for the results
- A full transcript with timestamps for a video you name by URL or ID
- A built-in prompt template for analysing several videos on a topic at once
Requirements
A YouTube Data API v3 key from a Google Cloud project, set as an environment variable. Python, run from its own virtual environment.
