Argument	Type	Description
kind	string	Track kind. Omit to prefer a manual track and fall back to auto
lang	string	Language code of the track, e.g. 'en', 'de'. Default 'en'.
video*	string	YouTube video id or URL
format	string	'text' = plain text (default), 'json' = timed segments, 'srt'/'vtt' = subtitle file body, 'srv3' = raw YouTube XML (srv3 does not combine with segment)
segment	integer	Max characters per segment. Raise it when chunking the transcript for embeddings or retrieval — 500-1500 gives chunks with enough context; lower it for subtitle-sized lines. Left out, an auto-generated track is cut into ~180-character segments and a manual one is returned exactly as its author broke it, so pass this whenever you need one size regardless of which track answers.
