Export as string
Closed
Hey, I am trying to modify the output to put only the TEXT as string. I tried to tinker with code but can not make it trim, truncate and concatenate the response into one string. Can you maybe include export-as-string? I use API to send request for it and then return back with the transcript. It appears correctly on apify and works GREAT, just can not use it as a string. My code:
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const apiUrl = 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/karamelo~youtube-structured-transcript-extractor/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=apify_api_MyTokenWasHereButIDeletedIt';
// Split the input URLs by comma and trim any whitespace const urls = $urls.split(',').map(url => url.trim());
const input = { urls: urls };
const options = { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify(input) };
async function fetchTranscripts() {
try {
const response = await fetch(apiUrl, options);
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(Error fetching data from Apify: ${response.statusText});
}
const result = await response.json();
console.log('Result from Apify:', result);
... [trimmed]
Hi there, Thanks for the advice. I will add support for TEXT API and stringify the output as soon as possible. the issue imo is the line breaks. I will notify you here when done.

WOW, so quick! I am in love, can not wait, as I am a no-code person stuck with AI trying to rewrite code to no avail :)
hi edvin here is an example output, I used your code, please tell me how you want it to be formatted:
Result from Apify: [
{
'videoId: dQw4w9WgXcQ \ntitle: Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)': '[Music]',
'videoId: jNQXAC9IVRw \ntitle: Me at the zoo': 'All right, so here we are, in front of the elephants'
},
{
'videoId: dQw4w9WgXcQ \ntitle: Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)': "we're no strangers to",
'videoId: jNQXAC9IVRw \ntitle: Me at the zoo': 'the cool thing about these guys is that they have really...'
},
{
'videoId: dQw4w9WgXcQ \ntitle: Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)': 'love you know the rules and so do',
'videoId: jNQXAC9IVRw \ntitle: Me at the zoo': 'really really long trunks'
},
{
'videoId: dQw4w9WgXcQ \ntitle: Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)': "I I full commitments while I'm thinking",
'videoId: jNQXAC9IVRw \ntitle: Me at the zoo': "and that's cool"
}
]
Here is a test API endpoint and tell me if its ok, i will create a new actor for api use, try this code and tell me if its ok:

Hi edvin, here is a working code, I modified your code and commented the line ".map(segment => segment.text)" because the "const text" is already a string, you can use the test actor API endpoint in the attached file, its free with platform usage until I fix the results format of the YouTube Structured Transcript Extractor. By the way the YouTube Structured Transcript Extractor pricing will become a "rental model" starting the 5 august i think. If you have any questions please contact me here
