Can we get the subtitles/transcripts of age-restricted videos?
Closed
I've tried a couple and the video data is ok, but not the transcript. I tried with language Any and prefer auto subs
Hello, and thank you for opening this issue. Can you provide us with a run where your described problem is present? In general, we do not scrape behind login so it can be difficult for us to get data that is hidden behind a login wall to ensure age verification, but I'll double check the specific case for you.

This run for example: CbSKwqDdHNpsZxpac For this video (just a random age-restricted video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC_uPnfky7k

Hi! That's because the video indeed has no transcript provided by Youtube. We currently only scrape their transcripts.
We have an issue in backlog to provide options/integrations for generating AI transcripts, but this is most likely going to be more expensive than plainly scraping subtitles. So if this is something you're interested in let me know and we'll consider it

Transcribing without relying on autogenerated subs from YouTube would be super! But worry not, for now, this closes the issue. Ping me when you guys implement it, I understand it may be a new, different actor. For now I will keep using this one. Thanks!
