use YourYoutubeTranscriptNamespace\YoutubeTranscriptApi;  // Hypothetical namespace; replace with actual

try {
    $videoId = 'exampleVideoIdHere';  // Replace with a real YouTube video ID, e.g., 'dQw4w9WgXcQ'
    
    $transcript = YoutubeTranscriptApi::getTranscript($videoId, ['lang' => 'en']);  // Fetch transcript for English
    
    if ($transcript) {
        foreach ($transcript as $line) {
