YouTube URLs

videoUrls

Required

Videos, channels or playlists. Paste any mix of: watch URLs, youtu.be links, /shorts/, /embed/, bare 11-character video IDs, @handles, /channel/UC…, or playlist URLs. Channels and playlists are expanded into their videos automatically.

Type:array

Max videos

maxVideos

Optional

Hard cap on how many videos this run will process, counting videos pulled out of channels and playlists. Leave empty for no cap.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Default:100

Preferred languages

languages

Optional

ISO-639-1 codes in priority order, e.g. en, es, ko. The first language the video actually has is used. A human-made track always wins over an auto-generated one in the same language.

Type:array

Default:

[
  "en"
]

Allow auto-generated captions

allowAutoGenerated

Optional

Fall back to YouTube's speech-recognition captions when no human-made track exists. Turn this off if you only want reviewed subtitles.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Fall back to any available language

anyLanguageFallback

Optional

If none of your preferred languages exist, take whatever track the video does have instead of returning nothing.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Output format

outputFormat

Optional

text = one clean paragraph string. chunks = merged passages sized for RAG/embeddings. segments = raw timed cues. srt / vtt = subtitle files. all = every field at once.

Type:string

Default:text

Options:

textchunkssegmentssrtvttall

Chunk size (characters)

chunkMaxChars

Optional

Only used by the "chunks" format. Caption cues are ~2 seconds long and useless for embeddings; this merges them into passages of about this length.

Type:integer

Minimum:100

Maximum:20000

Default:1200

Chunk overlap (characters)

chunkOverlapChars

Optional

Repeat this much of the previous chunk at the start of the next one, so a sentence split across a boundary still embeds well.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:5000

Default:0

Include video metadata

includeMetadata

Optional

Add title, channel, view count, duration, publish date, keywords and thumbnail to every row. Free — it arrives in the same request as the transcript.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Include videos without captions

includeEmptyResults

Optional

Emit a row with an error field for videos that have no usable transcript, instead of skipping them silently. You are never charged for these rows.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Concurrency

concurrency

Optional

How many videos to fetch in parallel. Raise it for speed, lower it if you see throttling on a small proxy pool.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:50

Default:10

Proxy

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Leave the default. YouTube throttles caption downloads per IP, so the actor starts on cheap datacenter proxies and only escalates to residential when it actually gets blocked — that escalation is what keeps the price low.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true
}
