Hmm, I'd have a look at the yt-dlp source code. I think it can download subtitles/transcripts (and list them). The process does take a few seconds though.

am I able to download all the transcripts of each video from one channel? I was planning on doing this with a few channels. If this is even possible with YT-DL.
Hmm, youd need to first get a list of channel videos and then iterate thrpugh them, probablu with a script. Yt-dlp might support getting the videos in a channel, idk. I do know that it can download while playlists... Perhaps try passing it the channel url and seeing if it treats that as a playlost.
YouTube sometimes made it hard to find, but all channels do have an all videos Playlist. I think he button is on a profiles video page now. I don't know if yt-dlp can do only transcripts but I'm sure it can download all videos with transcripts included.
I was just going to chime in with this. I don't know the details of their implementation, but I get transcripts with every video I download using yt-dlp (if it exists which it does 99.9% of the time).
