I made a small open-source YouTube transcript kit for Node.js / React Native / CLI

Hey folks,

I built a small open-source package called yt-transcript-kit that makes it easier to work with YouTube transcripts.

It started because I wanted something simple I could use inside my own app, but I made it reusable as both:

  • an npm package
  • and a CLI

It can do things like:

  • fetch YouTube transcripts
  • search inside transcripts
  • split transcripts into chunks for LLM / AI workflows
  • return metadata
  • help with batch usage

I tried to keep it lightweight and practical for real apps, especially agent-style or AI-powered tools.

Would love honest feedback:

  • is this useful?
  • anything missing?
  • is the README/API clear enough?
