youtube-full — YouTube transcript, search, channels & playlists via TranscriptAPI

YouTube transcripts, video search, channel browsing, in-channel search, playlist extraction, and new-upload monitoring — all via TranscriptAPI. Processes 500K+ transcripts daily, fast. No yt-dlp, no headless browsers, no Google API key.

This is the API-backed alternative to ingest-youtube. Where ingest-youtube uses yt-dlp (which stops working on cloud server IPs), youtube-full calls TranscriptAPI's API and works from any runtime — local machine, cloud server, serverless function, or CI environment. 686 installs via the skills CLI (skills.sh/zeropointrepo/youtube-skills).

When to Use This Skill

User asks to get, fetch, or retrieve a YouTube video transcript
User asks to search YouTube for videos on a topic
User wants to monitor a channel for new uploads
User needs channel metadata, video lists, or playlist contents
Agent is deployed on a cloud server where yt-dlp calls fail (YouTube blocks cloud IPs)
Building a research corpus from YouTube conference talks, tutorials, or interviews
Competitive intelligence: monitoring competitor channels for new content

Do NOT use for:

Downloading actual video or audio files (use yt-dlp directly with -f best)
YouTube comments, likes, or engagement data (not in API)
Private or age-restricted videos (not accessible without user authentication)
Live stream transcripts (not stable until stream ends)

How It Works

Step 1: Install the skill

npx skills add ZeroPointRepo/youtube-skills --skill youtube-full

100 free credits included. API key is provisioned automatically via TranscriptAPI OAuth on first invocation — no manual setup.

Step 2: Use it by asking Claude

Get the transcript of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
Search YouTube for "LLM reasoning 2026" and summarize the top 3 results
What are the latest uploads on @3Blue1Brown?
List all videos in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYLIST_ID
