Intro

yt-fts indexes YouTube transcripts for CLI, semantic search, and RAG flows; verified 1,804 stars with pip install and search/export commands in README.

Best for: Researchers and builders who need transcript search and lightweight local RAG over YouTube content

Works with: Python environments, SQLite or Chroma search layers, OpenAI or Gemini keys for semantic flows

Setup time: 5-10 minutes

Main

  • The command surface is concrete: transcript indexing first, embeddings second, and export paths after that.
  • README names exact commands for download, search, export, embeddings, vector search, and summarize, which makes the asset answer-ready.
  • The repo carries 1,804 stars and 96 forks, enough to justify inclusion despite its niche focus.

FAQ

  • Do I need an LLM API key?: Only for semantic search; full-text search works offline.
  • What is the minimum useful flow?: Install, download one channel, and run yt-fts search before touching embeddings.
  • Why TokRepo?: It is a real research CLI with explicit commands and export paths.
🙏
