## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured extraction from a YouTube video — specifically when you want not just raw transcript text but also AI-generated key points, chapter breakdowns, and a summary in a single call. Prefer this over generic transcription services when the goal is content analysis or repurposing YouTube video content.

## Known failure modes

- Video is private or unavailable — returns error with no transcript data
- Video has no captions or transcript available — may return empty transcript
- Invalid or malformed YouTube URL — returns validation error
- Network timeout if video is very long — partial or no response
