Youtube
Youtube gets the transcript of one or more YouTube videos from its address and returns it as text, so an agent or a model can work with it.
When to use it
- Summarise a webinar or a talk published on YouTube.
- Extract the main ideas of a competitor’s video.
- Prepare an article or a post from a video.
Configuration
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Video URL | The address of the YouTube video, for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=.... To read several videos, separate their addresses with commas, spaces or line breaks. |
Output
The Data output returns the text of each video’s transcript, along with its ID. The English transcript is used when there is one; otherwise, the one the video has. Connect it to an agent, a model or a document store.
Example
A marketing team wants to turn its webinars into blog articles:
- Add Youtube and paste the webinar’s address into Video URL.
- Connect Data to an agent that writes an article with the main ideas.
- Save the article to a document for review.
Good practices
- The video must have a transcript, in any language.
- Use public videos: private ones can’t be read.
