| 66 | + |
| 67 | +# With YouTube API key (video discovery) |
| 68 | +YOUTUBE_API_KEY=your_key python scripts/data/extract_youtube_transcripts.py --therapeutic-only |
| 69 | +``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +### With S3 Upload |

| 141 | + |
| 142 | +--- |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +## ⚠️ Limitations |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +### Cloud IP Blocking |
| 147 | +- YouTube may block requests from cloud IPs (AWS, GCP, Azure) |
| 148 | +- **Workaround**: Use proxies or run from non-cloud environment |
| 149 | +- **Impact**: Transcript extraction may fail in CI/CD environments |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +### YouTube API Key |
| 152 | +- Required for video discovery (`search_therapeutic_videos`, `get_channel_videos`) |
| 153 | +- Without API key, can only extract transcripts from known video IDs |
| 154 | +- **Rate limits**: 10,000 units/day (free tier) |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +--- |
| 157 | + |
