Caption data null - when it shouldn't be
This seems to be happening frequently. Pulling caption data is null but data does exist for it.
Here is the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1h9PBGgT8w

Hello,
The video doesn't seem like having captions. Can you please elaborate a bit on the issue so we can investigate more?
Cheers

Sure. I'm doing a bit of a work around to get the youtube transcript. The transcript URL is within the Captions field data. I've run the agent a few times on the video url, and sometimes the captions field is null, other times it produces results.
{{ $json.captions.captionTracks[0].base_url }}
So while there might not be any captions, when the Captions section is null I get an error in my workflow.

Hello,
Is it possible for you to share a run ID where this field produced results on the same video? That'll help us a lot in the investigation process.
Cheers

Sure. I just ran it and it pulled in the caption fields successfully.
Run ID - g9jxBxrPBpwACTkh5

Hello,
We couldn't reproduce the exact issue however it might happen because the owner of the video hide it for some time (unplayable) and then enabled later at a point.
Closing te issue for now (since it is working). Let us know if you have more issues.
Cheers

I'll run a batch again to see if it happens again.

Happened again. But this is less frequent than what I was experiencing before.
ID: iLU307xNchSPaCTni - Failed, only brought in 1 field under captions.
There is a transcript: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNp7I4an1_k

Hello,
Thanks a lot for it, we are actively working on it and doing improvements. When this happens, please retry after some time.
Cheers
