YouTube Full
Complete YouTube toolkit via TranscriptAPI. Transcripts, search, channels, and playlists in one skill — no yt-dlp, no headless browser, no binary to keep patched.

- Someone pastes a YouTube link, video ID, or @handle and wants the content, not just the URL
- You need a transcript to summarize, quote, translate, or search within

- You're tracking a channel for new uploads

- Transcripts — full text with timestamps, one API call, 1 credit
- Search — video or channel search across YouTube, 1 credit/page
- Channel data — videos, in-channel search, latest uploads (the last one is free)
- Playlists — bulk video extraction for courses and lecture series
