Pricing
$3.00 / 1,000 transcript scrapeds
Bulk-extract YouTube transcripts (manual or auto captions) with timestamps as text, SRT, VTT or JSON – original language or auto-translated. Videos, Shorts & playlists; includes title, channel, duration, views, publish date. $2 per 1,000 videos.
Video URLs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…, youtu.be/…, Shorts, embed), bare video IDs, or playlist URLs (…/playlist?list=…) – one per line.
Language codes in order of preference (e.g. en, de, es). The first available track wins; manually created captions are preferred over auto-generated ones. Leave empty to take the video's default/first track.
[ "en"]If none of the preferred languages exist, use the first available caption track instead of failing.
Optional. Have YouTube auto-translate the transcript into this language code (e.g. en, de, fr). Works for any video whose captions are translatable.
Which representations to include in each item: text (plain text), segments (array with start/duration/text), srt, vtt.
[ "text", "segments"]Title, description, channel, duration, view count, publish date, keywords, thumbnail, category, available caption languages.
Limit when expanding playlists (0 = all).
