Extract subtitles (captions) from one or multiple YouTube videos. Download YouTube video subtitles (captions) as a HTML, JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML doc.
To run the code examples, you need to have an Apify account. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> in the code with your API token. For a more detailed explanation, please read about running Actors via the API in Apify Docs.
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with API token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});
// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
"startUrls": [
{
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzjS9iYHbuU"
},
{
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTRHomGg9uQ"
}
],
"language": "en"
};
(async () => {
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("genial_candlestand/youtube-subtitles-scraper").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});
})();
