# Transcribe a spreadsheet of YouTube URLs in bulk

**Use case:** 

You already have the list — a column of links from a content audit, a research shortlist, a competitor sweep. Paste all of it at once, mixing watch URLs, youtu.be links and bare IDs, and get one row per video with the caption text, its language and whether YouTube generated it. Dead and caption-less videos come back labelled, and are never charged.

## Input

```json
{
  "videos": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aGhZQkoFbQ",
    "https://youtu.be/iG9CE55wbtY",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc",
    "jNQXAC9IVRw"
  ],
  "language": "en",
  "includeSegments": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 10,
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [

  }
}
```

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
