What it does
Youtube Apify Transcript is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Fetch YouTube transcripts via APIFY API. Works from cloud IPs (Hetzner, AWS, etc.) by bypassing YouTube's bot detection. Free tier includes $5/month credits (~714 videos). No credit card required.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `CHANGELOG.md`, `README.md` and `package.json`).
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping and Video and podcast notes. It works with Apify, YouTube and Amazon Web Services. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Web scraping
- Tasks that involve Video and podcast notes
Example prompts
- “/youtube-apify-transcript”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in APIFY_API_TOKEN
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Create free APIFY account: https://apify.com/
- Get your API token: https://console.apify.com/account/integrations
- Set environment variable
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
youtube.comyoutu.be
Also links to:
console.apify.comapify.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
APIFY_API_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Youtube Apify Transcript loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:42
# Or use .env file (never commit this!) - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:43
_API_TOKEN=apify_api_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE' >> .env
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

youtube-apify-transcript
Fetch YouTube transcripts via APIFY API (works from cloud IPs, bypasses YouTube bot detection).

- No credit card required
- Perfect for personal use
Cost
- $0.007 per video (less than 1 cent!)

Setup
- Create free APIFY account: https://apify.com/
- Get your API token: https://console.apify.com/account/integrations
- Set environment variable:
# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export APIFY_API_TOKEN="apify_api_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
# Or use .env file (never commit this!)
echo 'APIFY_API_TOKEN=apify_api_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE' >> .envUsage
Basic Usage
# Get transcript as text (uses cache by default)
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"
# Short URL also works
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py "https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID"Options
# Output to file
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --output transcript.txt
# JSON format (includes timestamps)
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --json
# Both: JSON to file
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --json --output transcript.json
# Specify language preference
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --lang deCaching (saves money!)
Transcripts are cached locally by default. Repeat requests for the same video cost $0.
# First request: fetches from APIFY ($0.007)
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL"
# Second request: uses cache (FREE!)
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL"
# Output: [cached] Transcript for: VIDEO_ID
# Bypass cache (force fresh fetch)
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --no-cache
# View cache stats
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py --cache-stats
# Clear all cached transcripts
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py --clear-cacheCache location: .cache/ in skill directory (override with YT_TRANSCRIPT_CACHE_DIR env var)
Batch Mode
Process multiple videos at once:
# Create a file with URLs (one per line)
cat > urls.txt << EOF
https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO1
https://youtu.be/VIDEO2
https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO3
EOF
# Process all URLs
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py --batch urls.txt
# Batch with JSON output to file
python3 scripts/fetch_transcript.py --batch urls.txt --json --output all_transcripts.jsonAPIFY Actor Input
