Extract YouTube captions by type (manual or auto-generated) and language, and list every caption track a video has. Text, timestamps, SRT or VTT, with title, views and publish date. Videos without captions are free. Pay per video.
You can access the YouTube Captions 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.
