What you get

Turn a public YouTube video with available captions into structured JSON: clean transcript text, timestamped segments, model-sized chunks, and deep-link citations. English captions are used by default; request another caption language when available. Supports public, non-live videos up to four hours. Useful for research, retrieval, summarization, and source-grounded agents.

Use a public, non-live YouTube URL with captions. Returns structured transcript context and source deep links.
