Youtube Transcript Loader

pip install llama-hub-youtube-transcript

pip install llama-index-readers-youtube-transcript

This loader fetches the text transcript of Youtube videos using the youtube_transcript_api Python package.

Usage

To use this loader, you will need to first pip install youtube_transcript_api.

Then, simply pass an array of YouTube links into load_data:

from llama_index.readers.youtube_transcript import YoutubeTranscriptReader

loader = YoutubeTranscriptReader()
documents = loader.load_data(
    ytlinks=["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3OYlaoj-BM"]
)

Supported URL formats: + youtube.com/watch?v={video_id} (with or without 'www.') + youtube.com/embed?v={video_id} (with or without 'www.') + youtu.be/{video_id} (never includes www subdomain)

To programmatically check if a URL is supported:

from llama_index.readers.youtube_transcript.utils import is_youtube_video

is_youtube_video("https://youtube.com/watch?v=j83jrh2")  # => True
is_youtube_video("https://vimeo.com/272134160")  # => False

This loader is designed to be used as a way to load data into LlamaIndex.
