You do not need one. "Get current YouTube user" drives the real youtube.com pages in a browser, so it works whether or not youtube.com offers an API for this.
Nothing. It takes no input.
It returns note, email, loggedIn.
Yes. It acts as you on youtube.com: on your own Chrome it reuses your session, and on a Reduck-hosted browser it loads the youtube.com cookies saved by the Reduck extension.
It only reads. It looks things up on youtube.com and changes nothing there.

Get YouTube channel stats

Get a YouTube channel's stats and profile from a @handle, channel id (UC...) or channel URL. Returns channel_id, handle, name, description, subscribers, video_count, view_count, joined, country, language, channel_url, avatar, rss_url, is_family_safe, keywords and links. Subscribers is the abbreviated public figure (e.g. 4.51M becomes 4510000, approximate), while video_count and view_count are exact, read correctly in any YouTube language. joined, country and subscribers_text are shown as YouTube writes them, in the language given by language (e.g. "Joined Feb 1, 2015" in English). Each link's url is the display host without scheme. An unknown channel fails with an error that names it.

Get YouTube video transcript

Fetch a YouTube video's caption transcript (auto-generated or uploaded) in its default caption language, with per-segment timestamps. Returns available:false when the video has no captions in any language, and fails on a video that does not exist or cannot be played. A run can fail when YouTube does not serve the captions in time: call it again later. Works best on the paired-extension browser.
