Getting video captions?
Closed
Hello, is it possible to return video captions, like other Youtube scraping actors are doing?
These and similar bits of info I'm interested in: ... "captions": { "captionTracks": [ { "base_url": "https://www.youtube.com/api/timedtext?v=OjW7KCtMu1M&ei=P5UoZ_7yAZzDmLAP_Py9uQs.... ..... 5B&key=yt8&kind=asr&lang=en", "name": { "text": "English (auto-generated)" }, "vss_id": "a.en", "language_code": "en", "kind": "asr", "is_translatable": true } .....
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for opening this issue!
Unfortunately no. Reason is due to the pricing and inner functionality of this scraper. Basically, this scraper only gets “simplified” videos that are extracted in batches of multiple results. This allows us to lower the cost to $1.00 / 1,000 videos instead of the other scrapers (e.g. YouTube Scraper), which extract each video in detail and thus cost more - $5.00 / 1,000 videos.
You can always push the video URLs straight into the other YouTube scrapers, which are able to extract the details :)
I hope this helps, thanks!

I'm not talking about video URL (yours actually returns working video download URLs). I'm talking about text video transcripts (XML actually) This actor - https://console.apify.com/actors/1p1aa7gcSydPkAE0d ( $0.5/1000 results ) does this. Hope you can add it too.
