zero fetch --capability influship-youtube-channel-transcripts-api-bec7eaeb

Example prompt: Can you pull the live transcripts from MrBeast's YouTube channel so I can analyze what topics and phrases he covers most frequently in his videos?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date transcript data from a specific YouTube channel by creator name, especially for influencer research, content analysis, or NLP tasks. Prefer this over static datasets when freshness matters or when researching popular creators like MrBeast.

## Known failure modes

- YouTube rate limiting or blocking may cause scraping failure
- Transcripts unavailable for channels with disabled captions
- Payment not processed (x402 payment required at $0.03 USDC per call)
