search_linesread-onlyFull-text search across every line yank.info has ever extracted. Returns quotable lines with a verbatim flag (true = literal substring of the source transcript; false = labeled paraphrase), the speaker/author, the source, a timestamp and a moment link where the source is a video, and the permanent card URL to cite. Supports quoted phrases and a leading minus to exclude a word.
search_transcriptsread-onlyFull-text search inside the whole transcripts of every podcast and video yank.info has yanked, not only their five lines (§10.424). Returns moments: the source, where in it (startSeconds, endSeconds), the words around the match (snippet, the match between « and »), a moment link that opens the source at that second, and yankThisPartUrl, which yanks the few minutes around it. The words are a machin
check_quoteread-onlyYank Check: a statement and the source it is supposed to come from, in; a verdict and a receipt, out. FOUND (the words are in the representation Yank inspected), CLOSE MATCH (substantially the same wording, with the difference shown), DISTILLED MATCH (a passage shares most of the statement's content words but not its literal words; shared words can say the opposite, so read the passage), NOT FOUND
check_memoryread-onlycheck_quote over a batch, for auditing what an agent wrote down earlier. Give it up to 10 remembered claims, each with the source it is attributed to, and it returns the same verdict and receipt for every one: FOUND, CLOSE MATCH, DISTILLED MATCH, NOT FOUND or CAN'T ESTABLISH, with where, the speaker and the class of that claim, the passage, which representation was read and how much of it, and whe
get_yankread-onlyFetch a yank (five extracted lines from one source) by its slug, the last path segment of a yank.info/y/<slug> URL. Includes every line's verbatim flag, timestamp, moment link, surrounding context, permanent card URL, share image, plus the whole yank as Markdown.
get_lines_for_urlread-onlyAsk before you extract: everything yank.info already holds from one source URL. Any form of the link works (a youtu.be short link with a timestamp, a watch URL with a playlist, an article with tracking parameters, an Apple Podcasts or Overcast episode link); equivalent URLs return the same answer. Returns real counts (yanks, lines, verbatim lines) and, for up to five yanks, every line with its ver
recent_yanksread-onlyThe newest yanks in the library, one card each (rank-1 line, author, source type, URL).
