TranscriptFetch
TranscriptFetch turns YouTube, TikTok, Instagram videos and podcasts into clean, structured transcripts your app, RAG pipeline, or AI agent can read and cite. REST API plus an MCP server so assistants like Claude can fetch transcripts directly. Videos without captions are transcribed automatically.
