What you get

Full transcript text in one field, ready for ChatGPT, Claude or any AI tool.
Timed segments (optional): every caption line with start and end in seconds, for subtitles, quotes and chapters.
Video title, language, length and word count.
Bulk: paste links in any format (watch, youtu.be, Shorts, live, embed) or bare video ids. Duplicates are looked up once.

The transcript is the one YouTube shows for the video (the uploader's captions or YouTube's automatic captions), in the video's language.

Example output

A real row for a TED talk (segments shortened):

{
  "type": "transcript",
  "video_id": "8jPQjjsBbIc",
  "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jPQjjsBbIc",
  "title": "How to stay calm when you know you'll be stressed | Daniel Levitin | TED",
  "language": "en",
  "segments_count": 260,
  "duration_seconds": 739,
  "word_count": 2232,
  "text": "A few years ago, I broke into my own house. I had just driven home, it was around midnight in the dead of Montreal winter ...",
  "segments": [
    {"start": 13.24, "end": 15.8, "text": "A few years ago, I broke into my own house."},
    {"start": 16.88, "end": 18.1, "text": "I had just driven home,"}
  ],
  "checked_at": "2026-10-22T17:27:28+00:00"
}

Input

Field	What it does
`videos`	Video links or ids. Up to 1,000 per run.
`includeTimestamps`	Also return the timed caption lines (default on). Off = full text only.

Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription:

$4 per 1,000 transcripts ($0.004 per video with a transcript).
$0.0025 for a real video that has no transcript on YouTube (the lookup still had to be made).
Links that are not YouTube videos are never charged.
$0.001 per run start.

Example: transcripts of 100 videos cost about $0.40. You can cap the cost of a run with the maximum charge setting; the Actor only looks up the videos the budget covers. Live lookups need a paid Apify plan (any plan); the pre-filled example works on the free plan.

Good to know

Transcripts usually arrive within a minute, also for big batches (they are fetched in parallel).
Private, removed and age-restricted videos, and videos without any captions, have no transcript.
Use it from the API, on a schedule, in n8n/Make/Zapier, or from AI agents through MCP (rowfeed-seo-mcp).

Google Search Results API – Google results, including video results, for any query.
Keyword Research – search volume for video topics.
