One API for transcripts, summaries, and search
Transcripts from a single URL
Send a YouTube URL and get back full transcript text, method metadata, and credit usage in one response.
Summaries without extra plumbing
Generate AI summaries from transcripts with the same auth model and the same predictable credit system.
Search, channels, and playlists
Search YouTube, resolve channel handles, list channel uploads, and paginate playlists from the same API surface.
One key for REST and MCP
Start with direct HTTP requests now, then reuse the same API key later for agent or MCP workflows if you want them.
