YouTube Video Summarizer

This project provides a FastAPI-based service to transcribe and summarize YouTube videos. It uses the youtube_transcript_api to fetch video transcripts and the OpenAI API to generate summaries.

Project Structure

Setup

1. Clone the repository.
2. Create a virtual environment and activate it.

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Create a .env file and add your Grok API key:

   GROK_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
   

Usage

1. Go to localhose:8000/docs for the FastAPI Swagger UI docs.
2. Enter the YouTube video id and click the "Summarize" button.
3. For a video with url "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH7REzcVjMI&ab_channel=AliAbdaal", the video id is "RH7REzcVjMI". Note: Will add method to use video url directly. Note: There is no audio downloading and audio -> transcript conversion. The video transcript is fetched directly from the youtube-transcript-api. Will add technique for audio -> transcript conversion if directly not available.
