YT Playlist Link Extractor

Automatically scrapes video links from the active YouTube playlist tab without an API key.

YT Playlist Link Extractor is a lightweight, high-performance browser extension engineered for researchers, curators, and power users who need to instantly catalog YouTube playlist contents. Operating completely locally within the browser, it bypasses the need for external server infrastructure or restrictive Google API quotas. Designed with a striking retro-cyberpunk "Matrix" aesthetic, the utility balances functional simplicity with an intense, high-contrast visual profile. 🚀 Key Features Zero-Configuration Scraping: Automatically detects when the active browser tab is resting on a valid YouTube playlist page, eliminating manual URL copy-pasting. API-Free Local Processing: Leverages standard browser content scripts to securely scan the live DOM architecture on the page, extracting complete video ID matrices entirely for free. Smart Data Filtering: Automatically cross-references page elements to isolate the actual playlist track list on the right side of the screen, filtering out channel links or duplicate homepage thumbnails. Clean Clipboard Extraction: Displays extracted URLs inside the viewport with stylistic terminal markers (>> ), but automatically cleans and strips these markers during clipboard transfer to provide clean, raw URLs. Compact, Frame-Locked UI: Tailored with snug layout dimensions (440px width) to ensure zero internal scrolling, keeping control buttons, console output, and developer support links in a single viewport. Extension Blueprint: Refactored onto Manifest V3 architecture using modern asynchronous JavaScript execution protocols to ensure seamless long-term browser support. USE CASE: You created a playlist on YouTube of videos you want to use for research, studying, etc. You need a way to copy/paste these video links into NotebookLM. Instead of going one by one, you use this tool on the playlist page, and it will create for you a list of of all the video links. You can then copy this list and paste it into the NotebookLM resources box for the YouTube links. All the videos are added in one simple go. Consider supporting me if you like this tool. Thank you.
