🚀 ViralTube: AI Transcript & Content Engine Turn any YouTube video into a viral content machine. Reliable. Fast. Automated. Stop fighting with "Sign in required" or "Cookies missing" errors. This Actor is a production-grade tool for content strategists, agencies, and creators who need a guaranteed way to extract transcripts and repurpose videos. We combined a robust decentralized scraping architecture with Google's latest Gemini 2.5 AI to deliver the ultimate repurposing tool. --- ### 🔥 Why is ViralTube different? Most YouTube scrapers fail because they rely on a single IP address or library. ViralTube uses a "Waterfall" Anti-Ban Strategy: 1. 🕵️ Layer 1: The Decentralized Network. First, the Actor rotates through a list of 30+ Invidious instances (open-source YouTube mirrors). This bypasses YouTube's main bot detection algorithms entirely. 2. 🛡️ Layer 2: Android Simulation. If mirrors are busy, it utilizes a fallback mechanism mimicking a mobile Android client. 3. 🔄 Layer 3: Smart Parsers. It parses raw data structures to find captions even when the frontend hides them. Result: Higher success rates where other actors fail. --- ### 🧠 The AI Core Once the transcript is secured, the data is fed into Google Gemini 2.5 Flash. The AI acts as an expert social media strategist to generate: * 🎣 Viral/Clickbait Titles for re-packaging. * 📝 TL;DR Summary (The core value in 2 sentences). * 💼 LinkedIn Post (Professional, structured, emoji-optimized). * 🐦 Twitter/X Thread (A coherent thread of 3-5 tweets). * 🎬 Shorts/Reels Scripts (With visual hooks and timestamps). * 🏷️ SEO Tags for better discoverability. --- ### 🛠️ How to use #### Input Parameters | Field | Type | Description | Required? | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | videoUrl | String | The full YouTube video URL (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...) | ✅ Yes | | geminiApiKey | String | Your own Google AI Studio API Key.
