🛡️ Why choose this Actor? (Enterprise-Grade Resilience)

Most YouTube scrapers fail the moment YouTube blocks their IP or when the platform restarts their server. This Actor is built to survive:

Zero Data Loss (State Persistence): Uses Actor.use_state() to save progress. If the server migrates or the run is aborted, it resumes exactly where it left off.
Smart Retries: Implements exponential backoff. If YouTube blocks a request, the Actor waits and retries (up to 5 times) before logging the error and moving on.
Anti-Ban Protection: Built-in support for Apify's Residential Proxies to bypass YouTube's cloud IP bans.

🚀 Features

Full Transcript: Get the text, start time, and duration of every caption segment.
Multiple Languages: Tries to fetch Spanish or English first, falls back to the original language.
Pay-Per-Event: Only pay for successful extractions. If it fails, you don't pay.

📖 How to use

Go to the Input tab.
