🚀 How to Use

Get your API token from Transcript Downloader
Add one or more YouTube video IDs
Set downloadToApify to true if you want files saved
Run the actor and access results in the dataset or key-value store

❌ Error Handling

This actor includes robust handling for common issues:

Status Code	Description
`403`	Invalid API key – check or regenerate key
`404`	Video not found or has been deleted
`429`	Too many requests – reduce polling frequency
`503`	Transcript Downloader API under maintenance
Custom	`"You already have a pending download for this video"`

If a video is already being processed, its ID will be returned in the error message.

⚠️ Rate Limiting

🔄 Max 75 requests per minute
⏱️ Keep polling interval above 1.25 seconds/request to avoid throttling

💡 Best Practices

✅ Respect rate limits to avoid 429 errors
⏳ Use polling wisely — longer intervals for large queues
🔐 Keep your apiToken secret (never log it)
🧠 Monitor output for incomplete or failed downloads
🗂️ Store large audio files in Apify only when needed

📈 Monitoring

Track performance and usage with Apify tools:

Run history
Success/failure rates
Storage and resource usage
Output file availability
