This wraps TranscriptAPI's YouTube search endpoints so Claude can find videos and channels by topic, pull transcripts, and search within specific channels. The free tier gives you 100 credits to start, no card required. It's useful when you want Claude to research a subject through video content or find creators covering a niche. The skill handles the API key setup and requires a proper User-Agent header or Cloudflare blocks the request. Global search costs 1 credit per query, channel-specific search is another credit, and handle resolution is free. Good for discovery and research workflows where YouTube is actually the right source, not just a fallback.
