Extract YouTube video transcripts and save them as formatted markdown files using defuddle parse.
Run defuddle parse with the YouTube URL to extract the transcript as markdown:
bunx defuddle parse "<youtube-url>" -m -o <output-path>-m (or --md) to output in markdown format-o to specify the output file pathhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID)Read the generated file to check if the transcript was successfully extracted. Some videos may not have accessible transcripts — in that case the file will only contain the video link.
Prepend the video title (or user-provided name) and a markdown separator to the top of the file:
