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.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your API token
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzjS9iYHbuU" },
        { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTRHomGg9uQ" },
    ],
    "language": "en",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("genial_candlestand/youtube-subtitles-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
