Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.influship.com/v1/raw/youtube/transcript/qel8Fyt78fkWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve the spoken transcript or captions of a YouTube video by its video ID, especially in agentic workflows that need to summarize, analyze, or quote video content. Prefer this over manual caption downloads when you need live, on-demand retrieval at low cost ($0.01 per call).
Side effects
- Video ID does not exist or is invalid — returns error or empty response
- Video has no captions or transcripts available (disabled or not generated) — returns empty or error
- YouTube rate limiting or blocking of scraper — returns failure or timeout
- Private or age-restricted video not accessible — returns access denied error
- Network timeout during live scrape — returns timeout error
