# YouTube caption search

This is a tool designed to search for specific sentences in a YouTube channel's

caption text, it supports case sensitive and insensitive matching, string

matching or ECMAScript regular expressions, all languages officially supported

by YouTube's creator interface and has a user-selectable limit to the number of

videos crawled.

## Disclaimers

YouTube caption search simply searches publicly available data that any user

could access via the YouTube frontend's view transcript, it will not work on

unlisted and especially not on private videos.

I am not responsible for any end a user chooses to use this tool for as that is

solely up to the user's discretion.

## How to build

This frontend was made using the Svelte framework and the Vite build system, to

do changes to the tool, you'll need node.js and the packages listed in the

package.json. If you intend to submit changes upstream that include modified

package versions, please use pnpm as your package manager instead of npm in

order to keep dependency locking consistent.

## Systems leveraged

This project uses the [piped API](https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped), a privacy

focused wrapper for the YouTube API to gather channel, video and subtitle info.
