Input

{
  "timestamps": false,
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SieELGaJV8k"
  ]
}

startUrls — list of YouTube video URLs.
timestamps — if true, the returned text will include [HH:MM:SS.mmm] prefixes per line.

Output

Each video produces one Dataset item. The dataset schema is defined in .actor/dataset_schema.json and includes two preset views in the Apify Console: Overview (all key fields) and Transcript (just the video and its text).

Field	Type	Description
`videoUrl`	`string` (uri)	Canonical URL of the YouTube video.
`videoId`	`string`	11-character YouTube video identifier.
`videoTitle`	`string \| null`	Video title as reported by YouTube.
`channelName`	`string \| null`	Display name of the channel that published the video.
`views`	`string \| null`	View count at the time of extraction (raw value from YouTube).
`subscribers`	`string \| null`	Channel subscriber count as a human-readable string (e.g. `70.1K`).
`text`	`string`	Full transcript. Includes `[HH:MM:SS.mmm]` prefixes when `timestamps` is `true`.

Example item:

[
  {
    "videoUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wg1A4m0VsA",
    "videoId": "2wg1A4m0VsA",
    "videoTitle": "El BIS lleva años explicándonos dónde encaja XRPL...",
    "channelName": "Fran De Olza",
    "views": "1933",
    "subscribers": "70.1K",
