Extract transcripts of YouTube Shorts — text, SRT and VTT per Short, from links, a channel or a playlist.
YouTube video, playlist or channel URLs (or bare video IDs). Playlists expand to up to ~100 videos, channels to their latest 15.
[ "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ", "dQw4w9WgXcQ"]Preferred caption languages in priority order (ISO codes, e.g. en, ko, ja, es). If none match, the first available track is used, so you always get a transcript when one exists.
[ "en"][ "en", "ko", "ja"]Prefer human-written captions over auto-generated ones when both exist. Auto-generated captions are still used as a fallback.
Include the segments array with start time and duration for each caption line. Useful for clipping, search and RAG chunking.
Include title, channel, duration, view count and publish date alongside the transcript.
Number of videos fetched in parallel.
Residential proxy is enabled by default and is required: YouTube refuses datacenter IP addresses, so turning this off will return no transcripts. Leave as is unless you have a specific reason to change it.
{ "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ]}Add ready-to-use SRT and WebVTT subtitle strings to each item.
