YouTube Transcript

Fetch and download YouTube video transcripts with timestamps and multi-language support by providing the video URL.

Do not install this skill without clarification. It currently does not implement the advertised transcript-fetching behavior — it only parses a YouTube ID and returns a placeholder. SKILL.md includes a plaintext API key and a per-call price; you should treat that as a leaked credential until the author explains what service owns the key and who will be billed. Ask the publisher for: (1) source repository or homepage and author identity, (2) an explanation of the API key and billing, (3) actual code that performs transcript retrieval (including which external endpoint is called), and (4) a version that reads any secret (API key) from a required environment variable rather than embedding it in SKILL.md. If you cannot get these answers, avoid enabling the skill to prevent accidental use of an unknown paid service or leaking/using the embedded key.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: youtube-transcript-tool Version: 1.0.0 The skill is a non-functional placeholder or demo for a YouTube transcript service. The handler.py script uses a regular expression to extract a video ID from the input but does not actually fetch transcripts or perform any network operations. While SKILL.md includes a hardcoded API key and mentions a USDT price, the code lacks any malicious logic, data exfiltration, or harmful instructions.
