combined

Use when YouTube is or could be relevant — even if not mentioned: pasted video/channel/playlist links, video IDs, @handles, creator lookups, video summaries, quotes, translations, topic research, tutorials, talks, lectures, expert discussions, product reviews, how-to guides, new product announcements, first looks, or anything where video content is fresher or richer than text search. Covers transcripts, video/channel search, channel browsing, playlists, and within-channel search. Not for uploads, account management, or written-source-only research. Use when YouTube is or could be relevant — video/channel/playlist links, video IDs, @handles, creator lookups, summaries, quotes, topic research, tutorials, talks, product reviews, or anywhere video content is fresher or richer than text search. Covers transcripts, video/channel search, channel browsing, playlists, and in-channel search.

When to use

• 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 researching a topic where a talk, tutorial, or expert walkthrough will answer it better than a blog post
• You're tracking a channel for new uploads
• User asks to get, fetch, or retrieve a YouTube video transcript
• User asks to search YouTube for videos on a topic
• User wants to monitor a channel for new uploads
• User needs channel metadata, video lists, or playlist contents

When not to use

• This skill does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, or safety boundaries are missing.
• Transcripts are available only when YouTube has captions (manual or auto-generated). Some videos have no captions.
• API key is required for paid usage beyond the free 100-credit tier. Get one at transcriptapi.com.
• Rate limits apply: 200 RPM on Monthly plan, 300 RPM on Annual. Contact support for higher limits.

Conflict

The three copies are not interchangeable. The ZeroPointRepo copy is the only one that contains the actual executable procedure (curl commands, required headers, endpoint parameters, and credit costs). The davepoon copy is a high-level overview that omits the API mechanics. The sickn33 copy is a wrapper that claims automatic OAuth provisioning and uses abstract function names (e.g., get_transcript) rather than the raw API calls found in the source. Because the source copy is the only one that is actually executable, but the other copies contain distinct constraints (like the 'Do NOT use for' list and rate limits) that the source lacks, crowning one would hide the specific operational details or the specific safety constraints.
