Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.influship.com/v1/raw/youtube/transcript/zc8Nh4TMB1sWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to extract the spoken transcript or captions from a specific YouTube video by its video ID, especially when you want live/real-time scraping rather than relying on a pre-indexed database of transcripts. Ideal for summarization, analysis, or content extraction workflows that start with a known YouTube video ID.
Side effects
- Video ID does not exist or is invalid — returns error or empty response
- Video has no captions or transcript available — scraping returns nothing
- YouTube anti-scraping measures block the request — returns failure or timeout
- Private or age-restricted video may not be accessible — returns access error
- Rate limiting or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 status
