- Get Stored Transcript
Read a transcript already stored in the connected account without submitting new transcription work or consuming retrieval credits.
- Get Video Transcript Job Status
Read one transcript job's current processing, completed, failed, or requires-ASR-confirmation state without creating work or waiting. Use this one-shot read when GET_VIDEO_TRANSCRIPT times out, passing the same include flags to recover the requested transcript shape.
- Get Video Transcripts Batch Status
Read the current state and available per-video results for a transcript batch without creating work or waiting. Use this one-shot read to recover when GET_VIDEO_TRANSCRIPTS_BATCH times out while the provider is still processing.
- List Stored Transcripts
List and search transcripts already stored in the connected account, one bounded page at a time.
- List Transcript Languages
List stored languages and YouTube translation target languages for one owned video transcript.

- Get Video Transcript
Fetch captions for one YouTube video and store the resulting transcript in the connected account. This consumes provider credits, but never starts ASR. The tool waits up to 20 seconds for asynchronous caption jobs; if one is still processing, use GET_VIDEO_TRANSCRIPT_JOB_STATUS with the job_id from the timeout.
- Get Video Transcripts Batch
Fetch and store captions for 1-10 YouTube videos. Each uncached video can consume provider credits, so cost scales with the request size. ASR never starts. This creates one batch and waits up to 20 seconds for a terminal result; if it is still processing, use GET_VIDEO_TRANSCRIPTS_BATCH_STATUS with the batch_id from the timeout.
