YouTube Transcript API

One week of transcripts (12-18 Oct 2026) from 10 news, science, tech and education channels, one plain-text row per video. Two test runs on 19 October each returned 35 English transcripts, no errors. Set startDate and endDate to your week (UTC). Up to 20 videos per channel are checked, so a busy channel or older week can miss some; raise maxVideosPerSource. Billed per transcript plus a start fee.
