I am running an HTTP request node in n8n, when I crawl a video I use these settings:
{ "downloadSubtitles": true, "hasCC": false, "hasLocation": false, "hasSubtitles": false, "is360": false, "is3D": false, "is4K": false, "isBought": false, "isHD": false, "isHDR": false, "isLive": false, "isVR180": false, "maxResultStreams": 0, "maxResults": 10, "maxResultsShorts": 0, "preferAutoGeneratedSubtitles": true, "saveSubsToKVS": true, "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wwn5IEqFcg", "method": "GET" } ], "subtitlesFormat": "srt", "subtitlesLanguage": "en" }
The video get's scraped just fine but the subtitles are always Null.

I can confirm that I am experiencing the same issue. Starting from June 9, 2025, the actor consistently returns a null value for the “subtitles” parameter. This may be due to recent changes in YouTube’s page layout or the scraping workflow.
Previously, it was sometimes possible to get a value in the “subtitles” field by restarting or running the actor multiple times—the subtitles array would appear after a second or third attempt. However, now the “subtitles” field is always null, no matter how many times the actor is run.
