subtitles

Agent skill fromZeroPointRepo/youtube-skills

Use when subtitles or the spoken text of a YouTube video is needed: pasted video links or IDs, requests to translate a video, read along, follow foreign-language content, or extract what was said. Also use for language learning or accessibility. Fetches timestamped subtitles from any YouTube video. Not for uploading subtitles or account management.

5## Setup
6
7If `$TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY` is not set, read [references/auth-setup.md](references/auth-setup.md) and follow the instructions there to get and store the key.

9## Required Headers
10
11Every request needs two headers:
12
13- **Authorization:** `Bearer $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY`
14- **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.

16## GET /api/v2/youtube/transcript
17
18```bash
19curl -s "https://transcriptapi.com/api/v2/youtube/transcript\
20?video_url=VIDEO_URL&format=text&include_timestamp=false&send_metadata=true" \
21 -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY" \
22 -H "User-Agent: YourAgent/1.0"
