# YouTube Transcript

Turn a YouTube video into text you can work with.

## Ways to use it

- The close-reading step of a content teardown agent: it reads the top videos word for word to dissect the hook, the structure, and what the winners skip, which is exactly where the better video comes from.

## What you give it

### `url`

**Required**

The video URL.

For example `https://youtube.com/watch?v=example`

Any of these can be a value you type, a CRM property token, or the output of an earlier step.

## What you get back

The video's transcript as plain text. Pair it with Generate Content to summarize a talk or pull quotes out of it.

A real response, shortened:
