For the complete list of 1800+ supported sites, see: yt-dlp supported extractors
Local document about supported sites: references/supportedsites.md

Important: If you see an error like Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot, you should use the cookiefile parameter for authenticated downloads. See the cookiefile usage section at the end of this document.

### Prerequisites

Ensure the following Python packages are installed:

yt-dlp - For downloading videos from any supported site
yt-dlp-ejs - External JavaScript for yt-dlp supporting many runtimes
ffmpeg-python - For audio extraction
faster-whisper - For speech-to-text transcription (faster and more memory-efficient than openai-whisper). Note: The first run will download models from HuggingFace (default: small, ~3GB). A VPN is required for mainland China users.
tqdm - For progress bar display during transcription

Install via pip:

pip install yt-dlp yt-dlp-ejs ffmpeg-python faster-whisper tqdm

ffmpeg must also be installed on your system

### Command Line

python scripts/video_parser.py '{"urls":["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"],"output":"./downloads"}'

### Parameters

Create a folder for each video (named after the video title)
Download the video file to that folder
Extract audio as WAV file
Generate transcript using Faster Whisper
Save subtitle as .txt file

Output structure:

cookiefile usage:

Install the Get cookies.txt LOCALLY Chrome extension first.
URL: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/get-cookiestxt-locally/cclelndahbckbenkjhflpdbgdldlbecc?pli=1
Log in to the target website, then use the extension to export cookies.txt to your local machine.
Set cookiefile to that local file path, for example:

python scripts/video_parser.py '{"urls":["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"],"output":"./downloads","cookiefile":"/Users/yourname/Downloads/cookies.txt"}'

### Troubleshooting

ffmpeg not found: Install ffmpeg via brew install ffmpeg (macOS) or your system's package manager
Faster Whisper model download fails: Models are downloaded from HuggingFace. Mainland China users need a VPN/proxy to download models. The default small model is ~75MB.
Download fails: Some videos may be geo-restricted, age-gated, or unavailable. Check the video URL and try again.
Cookie/auth required: Some sites need authentication. You can pass cookies via yt-dlp options if needed.
