​

Node Inputs

• video link: The full link to the YouTube video you wish to get the transcript of. This should be in the form of a URL, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw. It is important that you provide the exact link to ensure the correct transcript is retrieved.

​

Node Output

• transcript: The extracted text of the YouTube video transcript. It consists of the dialogue or spoken content, without any timestamps or other additional information. Simply the text as you would read it.

​

Node Functionality

The “Get Youtube Transcript” node is designed to fetch and provide the transcript of a given YouTube video. When you provide the link to a YouTube video, the node processes this input to obtain the spoken contents of the video, which is particularly useful for generating written records of video content. This could be used for a variety of purposes such as content analysis, accessibility, or simply to have a readable version of the video’s dialogue.

​

When To Use

This node is ideal for situations where you need to access the written content of a video for review, study, or content creation. It can be particularly useful if you:

• Need to quote spoken content from a video in text form.
• Want to read the content rather than watching the video, which can be faster and more accessible in some situations.
• Require a transcript for accessibility reasons, such as creating subtitles or providing content for individuals with hearing impairments.
• Are conducting content analysis on spoken material in videos, such as educational lectures, interviews, or presentations.
• Wish to translate the content of a video into another language, as having a text transcript can make the translation process easier.
