Overview ¶

Package youtube provides YouTube video transcript and comment extraction functionality.

Requirements: - yt-dlp: Required for transcript extraction (must be installed separately) - YouTube API key: Optional, only needed for comments and metadata extraction

The implementation uses yt-dlp for reliable transcript extraction and the YouTube API for comments/metadata. Old YouTube scraping methods have been removed due to frequent changes and rate limiting.
