🚀 YouTube Transcript & Comment API

The Ultimate 3-in-1 YouTube Scraper Built for AI, LLM Training, & Data Engineering.

🛑 Stop wasting your money on three different Apify scrapers!

The Apify Store is currently fragmented. Competitors charge you massive premiums for an Actor that pulls Transcripts, a second Actor that pulls Comments, and a third Actor that pulls Video Metadata. On top of that, they use outdated scraping techniques that crash or rate-limit when YouTube rotates their WAF.

We fixed all of it, and we are 10x cheaper.

The YouTube Transcript & Comment API is the ultimate AI-ready data extractor. In a single run, it pulls:

1. 📝 Full Transcript Extraction: Instantly pulls native transcripts in any language.
2. 🤖 Whisper AI Fallback: If a video lacks captions, the bot spins up a high-speed Groq Whisper AI cluster to transcribe the audio flawlessly. (Bring your own Groq API Key).
3. 💬 Infinite Scroll Comments: Extracts tens of thousands of comments rapidly.
4. 📊 Deep Video Metadata: Extracts Views, Likes, Dislikes, Author, Channel ID, and Publish Dates.

🤯 Why is this the Ultimate YouTube Scraper?

• ⚡ Lightning-Fast Concurrent Engine: Processes URLs in massive batches. No browser overhead. Pure speed.
• 🛡️ Anti-Ban Architecture: Every request is mathematically mapped through Residential Proxies to bypass Google's datacenter blocks and 429 rate-limits.
• 💰 Disruptive Pricing: We charge $0.01 for the base extraction, and fraction of a penny for the segments and comments. We are mathematically 10x cheaper than the top competitors.
• 🦾 Indestructible Batch Processing: If a video in your list is deleted or private, the bot gracefully logs the failure and instantly moves to the next video without charging you.

🎯 How to Experience the Magic

1. Paste your URLs: Drop a massive list of YouTube Video or Shorts URLs into the input array.
2. Set your Comment Limit: Choose how many comments to pull (e.g., 100, 1000, or 0 for unlimited).
3. (Optional) Add a Groq API Key: If you want the scraper to use AI to transcribe uncaptioned videos, paste your free Groq API key into the input. If left blank, the scraper will just skip uncaptioned videos.
4. Hit Start: Sit back and watch the scraper process them concurrently.
5. Download: Click the Dataset tab to download your flawlessly formatted JSON, CSV, or Excel file. (We formatted the comments to export cleanly into a single Excel column!)
