Pricing
Pay per event
Extract YouTube transcripts from videos, playlists, channels or search queries. Works when other transcript scrapers return nothing. Five output formats, 100+ languages, YouTube translation.
Accepts video URLs or IDs, playlist URLs, channel URLs and @handles, and search terms written as search:your query.
[ "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aircAruvnKk", "https://www.youtube.com/@3blue1brown", "search:retrieval augmented generation"]Language codes in priority order. The first available match wins.
[ "en"]If none of the preferred languages exist, use whatever caption track the video has.
Within the same language, prefer manually written captions over auto-generated ones.
Optional language code (e.g. es, de). Uses YouTube's own caption translation.
Shape of the transcript field in each result.
Hard cap on how many videos are processed. Protects you from an accidental whole-channel run.
Optional AI analysis of each transcript. Requires the Actor operator to configure an LLM credential; if none is set the run returns transcripts only and logs a warning — it never fails.
[]Optional extra guidance for the AI, e.g. "focus on pricing and product claims".
How many videos to fetch in parallel. Lower this if you hit rate limits.
