resolves #4004

What is in this change?

Use Youtube API https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/get_transcript to get transcript instead of https://www.youtube.com/ptracking from youtube scripts. For unknown reason, https://www.youtube.com/ptracking returns empty content for xml transcript and causes current yt scraping fails.

Additional Information

As Youtube API has rate limit, scraping may fails after reaching api limit. For long term solution, it's better to offload ty scraping to npm package youtubei like https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js/blob/main/examples/transcript/index.ts.

Developer Validations

  • I ran yarn lint from the root of the repo & committed changes
  • Relevant documentation has been updated
  • I have tested my code functionality
  • Docker build succeeds locally
