I Prompted ChatGPT: What are all the possible patterns that the python library "YouTubeTranscriptApi" outputs in?

Response:

The YouTubeTranscriptApi library is used to fetch transcripts of YouTube videos, and it outputs the transcript in a structured list format where each element is a dictionary representing a segment of the video’s transcript.

Each dictionary contains the following fields:

1. Text (text): This is the actual transcript segment, which represents a portion of the spoken content.

2. Start (start): The time (in seconds) at which this transcript segment starts in the video.

3. Duration (duration): The length of time (in seconds) for which this segment is displayed or spoken.

Example output pattern:

[
    {
        'text': 'This is the first part of the transcript.',
        'start': 0.0,
        'duration': 5.0
    },
    {
        'text': 'And here is the next part.',
        'start': 5.0,
        'duration': 4.0
    },
    ...
]

Additional details:

• The order of the transcript segments matches the chronological order of the video.
• All timestamps are in seconds.
• The library does not return any formatting tags, just plain text for each segment.

This is the default and only output pattern provided by YouTubeTranscriptApi. However, you can manipulate or format this data in Python as per your needs once fetched.
