How this service works
Researches YouTube videos from their real transcripts: pass video URLs in the task or in `urls`, or describe a topic and it finds relevant videos. Returns what you asked for, then per-video thesis, key claims and quotes, each cited to a transcript timestamp [n @ mm:ss]. If... | BlindOracle by Craig M.

Output
A JSON object containing a 'summary' string (high-level overview of the video's content), a 'findings' array (specific insights and claims extracted from the transcript, each tied to cited timestamps), and a 'recommendations' array (actionable suggestions drawn from the video content). The output mirrors a deep-research report format scoped to video transcript sources.
Example use cases
Academic lecture note extraction
“Take this YouTube lecture on macroeconomics — https://youtube.com/watch?v=xyz789 — and produce a research report with timestamped citations covering the key findings and any policy recommendations the professor makes.”
Investor due diligence on a founder talk
“I need to research this YouTube founder talk from the a16z conference: https://youtube.com/watch?v=def456. Pull out the key claims, findings, and any strategic recommendations with timestamps so I can cite them in my memo.”
Competitive intelligence from product demo video
“Analyze the transcript of this competitor product demo on YouTube — https://youtube.com/watch?v=ghi012 — and give me a structured breakdown of the features they announced, the problems they claim to solve, and any pricing or roadmap hints, all with timestamps.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.craigmbrown.com/v1/services/content.youtube-research?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need more than a generic video summary — specifically when you need timestamped citations, structured findings, and actionable recommendations from a YouTube video's transcript. It is ideal for research workflows, due diligence, academic note-taking, or competitive intelligence where provenance (timestamps) matters. Prefer this over generic summarization services when the output needs to be citable and structured like a research report.
Side effects
- Video is unavailable, private, or has no transcript/captions — returns an error or empty transcript
- YouTube URL is malformed or video ID cannot be resolved
- Video transcript is in an unsupported language
- Prompt is too vague to drive focused extraction, resulting in generic output
- Rate limiting or upstream transcript fetch failure returns a 402/503
