How it works
Multi-strategy extraction for maximum reliability:
- Innertube API — YouTube's internal player API (Android client)
- HTML scraping — parses
ytInitialPlayerResponsefrom page source - Transcript panel — opens YouTube's built-in transcript panel as last resort
Caption XML parsed in multiple formats (srv3, timedtext, JSON3). Retry with exponential backoff on transient failures.
