Get YouTube captions, timestamped quotations, SRT/VTT and translated transcripts for videos, channels and playlists through the harshmaur/youtube-transcript-scraper Apify Actor.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# YouTube Transcript Scraper Turn a YouTube link, a channel or a playlist into text with one run of `harshmaur/youtube-transcript-scraper`. Each video gives one row with the transcript and the video facts. The agent picks the input list, sets how many videos to read per channel, and chooses the transcript shape. Disclosure: the Actor is paid per result and is built by the skill author. Links carry no affiliate parameters. ## When to Use Use to summarize public YouTube videos, find timestamped quotations, export captions, or research transcripts from channels and playlists. ## Example prompts Prompts this skill handles: - "Summarize https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw in five bullet points." - "Give me SRT subtitles for these three videos." - "Pull the transcripts of the last 20 videos from @mkbhd and list every product he reviewed." - "Transcripts of this playlist, in Spanish, with timestamps so I can link to the exact second." Out of scope (the boundary): - "Download the MP4" or "get the audio" — this Actor returns text and metadata only. - "Find videos about X" — it does not search YouTube. Get the video, channel or playlist links first. …

How to install
mdr add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/apify-youtube-transcript-scraper@sha256:85cb19c1eb3fda66The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.78c0f6b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
