Send one public YouTube video or a batch of up to 250. Receive plain transcript text, timestamped segments, video facts and the available caption languages. Add SRT or WebVTT without an extra result fee. The API uses captions already available on the video; it does not transcribe audio or translate text.
Run on Apify From $0.70 per 1,000 delivered transcripts, no start fee.
