Use when a YouTube channel is the focus: pasted @handles or channel URLs, requests to browse a creator's uploads, see what a channel has posted recently, search within a channel, or resolve a handle to a channel ID. Also use when the user names a creator and wants to explore their content or monitor their uploads. Not for creating channels or account management.

YouTube channel tools via TranscriptAPI.com.
If $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY is not set, read references/auth-setup.md and follow the instructions there to get and store the key.
Every request needs two headers:
Bearer $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEYHermesAgent/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.Full OpenAPI spec: transcriptapi.com/openapi.json — consult this for the latest parameters and schemas.
All channel endpoints accept flexible input — @handle, channel URL, or UC... channel ID. No need to resolve first.
Convert @handle, URL, or UC... ID to canonical channel ID.
