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 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
