# Word-Level Timestamps for a YouTube Video

**Use case:** 

Every word with its own start, end and confidence score — the timing you need to cut clips on the exact word, build word-by-word captions or search inside a video to the second.

## Input

```json
{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qaiNfoMRts"
  ],
  "timestampLevel": "word",
  "diarize": false,
  "language": "en",
  "includeSubtitles": true,
  "includeMetadata": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 3
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "url": {
    "label": "Video URL",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "status": {
    "label": "Status",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "timestampLevel": {
    "label": "Timestamp level",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "speakers": {
    "label": "Speakers",
    "format": "array"
  },
  "segments": {
    "label": "Segments",
    "format": "array"
  },
  "segmentsUrl": {
    "label": "Segments file URL",
    "format": "string"
  }
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [YouTube Transcript AI: Subtitles, SRT & Speakers](https://apify.com/deapi/youtube-transcript-ai.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/deapi/youtube-transcript-ai.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
