This is a full YouTube data wrapper that pulls transcripts, searches videos and channels, browses uploads, and handles playlists through a single API key from transcriptapi.com. Free tier gives you 100 credits to start. It's designed to trigger automatically when Claude sees video links, handles, or topics where video content is likely fresher than text (tutorials, talks, product demos). The channel resolution is free, transcript and search calls cost 1 credit each. User-Agent header is required or Cloudflare blocks you. Useful when you need actual spoken content from videos or want to search within a specific channel's back catalog instead of guessing what's out there.
