videos

Required

Videos, playlists or channels — mix them freely. Regular links, youtu.be, Shorts, embeds, live links, playlist links, channel links (@handle, /channel/…) and bare video ids all work.

Type:array

Language

language

Optional

Preferred transcript language code (en, de, hu, es...). A human-written track in this language is chosen over an auto-generated one.

Type:string

Default:en

Try machine translation when the language is missing

translate

Optional

Best effort. If a video has no track in your language, ask YouTube for its machine translation. YouTube limits this heavily: in our test it came through for 1 of 8 videos. When it does not, you still get the original transcript, marked translationFailed: true — and runs with this on are slower.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Add SRT subtitle file

includeSrt

Optional

Adds an "srt" field with the transcript as a ready SubRip subtitle file.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Add WebVTT subtitle file

includeVtt

Optional

Adds a "vtt" field with the transcript as a WebVTT file for HTML5 players.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max videos per playlist or channel

maxVideosPerSource

Optional

How many of a playlist's videos, or a channel's newest uploads, to fetch. Listing is free; you pay only for the transcripts delivered.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:1000

Default:50

Parallel requests

maxConcurrency

Optional

How many videos to fetch at the same time.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:20

Default:5

Proxy

proxyConfiguration

Optional

RESIDENTIAL by default: YouTube asks datacenter IPs to sign in, and a residential exit costs well under a tenth of a cent per video here.
