YouTube Shorts, TikTok & Reels Transcript Scraper
Pricing
from $1.40 / 1,000 videos
One run for all three platforms: YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels turned into text — transcript with timestamps, on-screen captions and the first-3-second hook. Shorts use YouTube's own captions, so they cost less. Links or whole profiles, no login.
You can access the YouTube Shorts, TikTok & Reels Transcript Scraper programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.
