YouTube Transcript & Subtitles Scraper

If YouTube started blocking your server's IP and your transcript script fails, send the same video IDs here and get each transcript back as JSON with timestamps. The scraper fetches through a proxy because YouTube blocks cloud IPs, and runs 10 videos in parallel by default. This example reads 3 videos. Videos without captions and failed videos are free. $3 per 1,000 transcripts.
