YouTube Transcript Scraper

Overview

Automates extraction of YouTube video transcripts across multiple languages — useful for content analysis, SEO research, accessibility, academic research, and competitive intelligence.

Input Format

{
  "urls": ["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPKSEEbwO9A"],
  "language": "en"
}

urls: Standard (youtube.com/watch?v=...) YouTube URLs.
language: ISO language code (en, es, fr, de, ja, zh, th, etc.). Falls back to English if the requested language isn't available. Default: en.

Output Format

{
  "video_id": ["qPKSEEbwO9A"],
  "language": ["English (auto-generated)"],
  "language_code": ["en"],
  "is_generated": [true],
  "transcript": [
    { "text": "Hello everybody.", "start": 6.24, "duration": 4.16 },
    { "text": "My name is Luke Moore", "start": 10.4, "duration": 3.2 }
  ]
}

Field	Description
`video_id`	Unique YouTube video identifier
`language`	Human-readable language name
`language_code`	ISO language code
`is_generated`	`true` = auto-generated (may have errors); `false` = manually created
`transcript`	Full text with `start` time and `duration` per segment

Usage

Collect video URLs from your browser or YouTube's share button.
Set language using the appropriate ISO code.
Run extraction — set ignore_url_failures: true for batch jobs to skip inaccessible videos.
Check is_generated to assess transcript quality; manual transcripts are more accurate.

Common Issues

Problem	Solution
No transcript returned	Video may lack captions entirely (older/private/age-restricted videos)
Wrong language returned	Fallback to English is automatic — verify availability on YouTube first
Invalid URL	Ensure URL is complete and video is public

Use Cases

SEO / Marketing: Keyword research from competitor videos, content gap analysis
Research: Build text corpora, analyze lectures and presentations
Accessibility: Edit auto-generated transcripts into accurate subtitles
Journalism: Transcribe interviews, verify quotes
Content repurposing: Convert videos into articles, summaries, or social posts
