What it does

Extracts published YouTube caption tracks without AI transcription or browser automation. Each requested video produces one terminal dataset record, so a private, malformed, or captionless video does not discard useful siblings in the same batch.

Input

{
  "videoUrls": ["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"],
  "language": "en",
  "includeAutoGenerated": true
}

videoUrls accepts watch, youtu.be, embed, and shorts URLs or bare 11-character video IDs.
language is the preferred caption language code and defaults to en.
includeAutoGenerated defaults to true.

Output

The default dataset contains one record per requested video. Successful records include videoId, url, languageCode, languageName, isAutoGenerated, segments (an array of {text, start, duration}), fullText, segmentCount, actorVersion, and contractId. Failed items have status: "error" and a human-readable error value.

The key-value store record run-summary contains requested, succeeded, failed, and billed counts plus the input settings and version identity.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0084 per successful transcript (transcript-extracted). The event is charged only after a useful transcript record is saved. Error records are not billed.

Limits

Only videos with a published caption track can return a transcript.
Age-restricted, private, deleted, or region-blocked videos may return a structured error.
Caption text is an external, mutable YouTube source and may change upstream.
