Grabber Extension

Get the transcript and metadata of a YouTube video or of a web page.
And then save this information into a choice of different formats:

- Markdown file,
- and/or Notion database

Here are the steps:
- Open a browser
- Go to a YouTube video or a web page you are interested in
- Click on the extension button

And within a few seconds you will get:
- The transcript of the video, web page, or web page selection
- Meta Data:
- For a video:
- The Video title
- The channel
- The number of views
- The duration
- The publish date
- The video keywords
- The link to the thumbnail
- The URL of the video
- For a web page:

You can also get a summary of the transcript created by AI (Artificial Intelligence)

You can adjust parameters for the export of the information:
- To a text file: you can provide a string of characters that will be placed at the beginning of the name of the file. This is to help you categorize your files.
- To email: you have to specify the email address you want to send the information to
- To a Markdown file: like for text file, you can provide a string of characters that will be placed at the beginning of the name of the file. This is to help you categorize your files
