I think "transcriptsforyoutube" would be passable? I remember something about a case using "for" and being ok but not any details.
Hook this up to a language model, and maybe a user could instantly get the one sentence worth of information that the YouTube video creator buries in 10 minutes of monetized noise. And also save yourself time when the creator teases that they provide the info, but it turns out they don't, they're just trying to get views.
...or, just follow decent creators. No snark intended, but i just gave up with the dross. And even some of them, of late, are getting a bit crafty. But, creators get one chance from me now - give me decent content, or even with the fancy chapters, you're not getting my eyeballs past two minutes. What I have found is that leaving the decent stuff on, what auto-plays after is 'generally' of similar quality. A quick set…

If you want an CLI version of a similar idea, you can use yt-dlp and some simple jq to pull down the captions for a file: curl `\ yt-dlp -j "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeWyp2vXxqA" | \ jq -r '.automatic_captions.en[] | select(.ext=="json3") | .url'`

Edit: after reading other comments it seems this may be using an undocumented api to retrieve the data.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Good idea, but I don't follow anyone on YouTube. I was thinking about searching the Web for a bit of info, the search hits include YouTube videos (but no finer resolution than "this entire video"). A search engine could, narrow in on the few sentences AV in the video that it thinks correspond to what I was searching for, and summarize that, and also link me to the AV start timepoint in case I also want to watch the v…
