When extracting transcripts from YouTube videos, can anyone give advice on the best (cost effective, quick, accurate) way to do this?

I'm confused because I read in various places that the YouTube API doesn't provide access to transcripts ... so how do all these YouTube transcript extractor services do it?

I want to build my own YouTube summarizer app. Any advice and info on this topic greatly appreciated!

If YouTube placed autogenerated captions you can download them free of charge with yt-dlp.
