Get YouTube video transcript

Fetch a YouTube video's caption transcript (auto-generated or uploaded) with per-segment timestamps. Returns available:false when the video has no captions in any language. Some runs fail when YouTube plays an ad before the video, roughly 1 in 3; the script already retries, so if it still fails, call it again later. The paired-extension browser is more reliable than the managed browser, where YouTube often shows a sign-in check and no transcript is returned.

Get YouTube comments

List a YouTube video's top-level comments from a watch URL or video id. Per comment: id, text, author, channelId, authorAvatar, publishedTime, likeCount, replyCount, isVerified, isCreator, pinned. Sort by 'top' (default) or 'newest' and paginate with the returned nextCursor. likeCount and replyCount are YouTube's abbreviated strings (e.g. "255k", "960"), and comments come back empty when they are disabled.
