Is there a way to retrieve YouTube transcript from a shortcut directly? I previously was using youtubetranscript.com but it stop functioning. I found this but it did not work: https://talk.automators.fm/t/youtube-get-transcript-help/12009

There’s always this but I have no idea how it could be use from a shortcut, at least without requiring a server: https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api

I’ve wanted something similar. Curious if you’ve found a solution? I use https://www.videoticle.com to get the transcript, then a shortcut to select all text and copy to clipboard. What I really wanted was to link those two actions, then pass the text to ChatGPT to summarize into bullet points or cliff notes.
